Daydream believer, Stanley Gene's Autobiography, was recently launched at the Royal Hotel. This was followed by a book signing session at Waterstones in Huddersfield the following day. Later a dinner was held also at the Royal Hotel. The book is receiving rave reviews as sales surpass all expectations.

So far sales have reached over 2500 which is a great achievement given the time-scale and distribution points involved. As word spreads everyone is confident this will prove to be one of the great sporting autobiographies of all time. Copies are available at Browns Bookshop, Waterstones and at the club shop on Holderness Road.

Anyone who would like to receive a copy by post please send a cheque for £15 inc P&P payable to Stanley Gene Testimonial Fund and send to Mike Smith at 20 St Bartholomews Way, Saltshouse Road, Hull HU8 0FD.

Please Note: Personalised copies will not be available until Stan returns from the World Cup in November. We do have signed copies still available.

Stanley Gene’s book is not your ‘run of the mill’ sporting autobiography.
Read his revealing account of family turmoil, snake attacks, political violence, mud sledging in the rainforest and cannibalism. Oh and of course plenty of Rugby.

At 22 years old how do you cope with unimaginable challenges in a strange land? Such as reversing a car, microwave ovens and SNOW!

Enjoy reading just how Stan did and didn’t cope – and how he became one of the most popular figures in rugby league.
