Fit for life

Brian Boobbyer was one of the best all-round sportsmen of his day. He was a double-blue at Oxford University in rugby and cricket 1949-52, getting seven blues in all, and he played nine times for England at rugby, 1950-52. To the surprise of many, Boobbyer put his sporting life on one side in 1952 and spent the rest of his life with the work of Moral Re- Armament (MRA).

The pieces in this collection come from a number of sources: some originally appeared in the magazine Freeway; others appeared in the British MRA newsletter or the parish magazine; some were talks that Boobbyer gave for special occasions.
