CLASSIC - He was bullying us with his skills! - Sammy Boulton - #9
Amateur Rugby Podcast
I’ve known Sammy for many years and we’ve been opponents and team-mates. We have some common interests, two of which are stats and sports. This was exemplified when Sammy thrust the book ‘Moneyball’ by Michael Lewis into my hand one day and said: “read this, you’ll love it.” 24hrs later, I’d read that and I’d loved it!

It was a delight to catch up with Sammy and I really hope you enjoy our chat. LINKS Sammy can be contacted on Twitter GET...
