Frederick William Adams battled his whole life with a severe sight disability, and people who did not want to see him achieve his dreams, to be one of the best wrestlers New Zealand has ever had. In an era where wrestling enjoyed unwavering popularity, Bill wrestled his way to the top of the pile in an exceptionally long-lasting and eventful sporting career which included winning the national title in the highly contested lightweight division nine times, beating a heavy weight on more than one occasion, competing in a national championship aged 61 and being selected for the biggest sporting event New Zealand had ever seen - the 1950 Empire Games in Auckland - only to be dropped amid allegations and controversy. This 2006 Yvette Adams Paperback is in good condition. Signed. Inscription by author. ISBN: 9780975777008 SKU: 1575078 Note: Any image shown is from a stock photo and is not the actual book.
