Tries And Prejudice: The Autobiography Of England's First Muslim Rugby International
"A fascinating window into British Asian culture..." - The Guardian
Tries & Prejudice is the revealing, hard-hitting and often amusing autobiography of former Featherstone, Leeds, Huddersfield and London rugby league star Ikram Butt. Born and bred in West Yorkshire and these days the driving force behind the British Asian Rugby Association (BARA), Butt, England's first muslim rugby international in either code, tells his unique life story whilst also lifting the lid on the wider Muslim experience of British sport and the obstacles which lie in the way of encouraging greater participation from an often disaffected and marginalised youth. Written in association with rugby league writer Tony Hannan and featuring testimonials from a number of well-known sporting and political names, Tries & Prejudice is a fascinating and timely book, quite like no other.
