Description
Douglas "Duggy" Clark was a remarkable individual with two great passions: rugby and wrestling. Born in 1891, he left school at 14 to work for his father's coal merchant business, but it was these sports that truly defined him. By 24, Duggy had become a rugby league legend, winning every honor the sport could offer as a member of Huddersfield's "Team of All Talents". However, his war injuries forced him to re-evaluate his life. With doctors giving him an ultimatum - either stay home or risk his health by returning to sport - Duggy chose the latter and went on to achieve even more extraordinary feats. This book tells the remarkable story of Douglas "Duggy" Clark's life, from his early days as a young man with a passion for rugby and wrestling, to his rise to fame in the sport, and ultimately, to his pioneering achievements after returning to the ring.
