"'Telfer lets rip'" -- David Kelso * Scottish Daily Express *
"'One could sit and listen to Jim Telfer all day; if you do not have that opportunity, then this book is more than just a more than suitable replacement. You can hear the man as you read'." -- Atholl Innes * Border Telegraph *
"'Many sporting autobiographies suffer from their authors shying away from any unpalatable truths that might dent the lustre of their reputations. Not so Jim Telfer'." -- Mark Entwistle * Southern Reporter *
