Benji: My Story
Author(s): Benji Marshall & Glenn Jackson
New Zealanders have long believed Kiwis rugby league captain Benji Marshall to be the best player in the world. That view was confirmed early in 2011, when he was named winner of the prestigious 2010 Golden Boot - the international prize for the best player in the game. He is the first Wests Tigers player to win this award and only the third New Zealander. This international recognition was not surprising especially given the virtuoso performance he put on in the final of the Four Nations tournament last year when New Zealand sneaked past Australia. Marshall has also been both inspirational and instrumental in many of New Zealand's victories in recent times, including the World Cup win over Australia in 2008. Despite being only 26, he has crammed an awful lot into a career which first gained national prominence on both sides of the Tasman.
