75 Blue Bull Legends

A legend is a player who is admired and revered by all, even beyond the boundaries of provincialism. Northern Transvaal and the Blue Bulls have produced some of the world's greatest rugby legends. One name that you will remember is Frik du Preez, the lock who could drop, place and score. Tactical kicks are synonym to Naas Botha, he can even brag with conversion in a howling wind and driving rain so true to Port Elizabeth. Joost van der Westhuizen brought a new dimension to scrum-half play by becoming more than merely a link or a tactical kicker. And Victor Matfield who ruled the lineouts of the rugby world are only a few who are included in this remarkable book.

In this book the careers and achievements of 75 legends of Northern Transvaal, Blue Bulls and Bulls players over the first 75 years of the union's independence since 1938 are discussed.
