Description
For The Record by Gary Teichmann is a compelling sports memoir by one of South African rugby’s most respected leaders. As captain of the Springboks, Teichmann led the team to an unprecedented 17 successive Test victories in 1997 and 1998, equalling a record set by the All Blacks in the 1960s. His book offers a first-hand account of those triumphs and the challenges faced on and off the field.
Teichmann provides insight into his controversial omission from the 1999 Rugby World Cup squad, as well as his experiences with the Natal Sharks and the pride and people at King’s Park. Through honesty and reflection, he recounts moments of both triumph and disappointment, revealing what it truly means to lead with dignity, courage, and integrity.
For The Record is perfect for rugby enthusiasts and sports fans who want an inside perspective on leadership, perseverance, and the making of a champion in South African rugby.
