About this listen

Jilly Cooper's legendary hero returns!

Rupert Campbell-Black, undefeated race-horse owner and handsomest man in the world, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy, his beloved horse Love Rat has died, and now his daughter Bianca wants him to buy a languishing local football club - a sport Rupert knows nothing about - so she can return to Rutshire with her football star husband.

Rupert's first impressions of Searston Rovers are distinctly unfavourable. But swayed by Bianca and Taggie, soon Rupert has signed the deal. As Searston's new owner, he won't stand for anything less than victory in the Premier League, despite the odds being stacked against him. With help from the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, Rupert sets out to mastermind Searston's rise to the top, starting with taking charge of the players - much to the fury of Searston's manager.

The rival football club and their corrupt dealings aren't going to make it easy for him either - and they have a history of foul play. Let the sabotage and scandal begin...

I am still, absolutely in love with RCB!!

It was OK. It didn't grip me like her previous books have; nonetheless I finished it in a few days. It was nice to hear about past characters, and I loved that Dora had such a big part in it. whilst I enjoyed it, there weren't enough storylines and character development, which had always been so brilliant in her other books lacked a bit.
Definitely a must though for all Jilly Cooper fans, even if just for the RCB fix!

Amazing as always

I started reading about Rupert CB when I was a teen and have read them over and over. I was so happy when Tackle was released and I was not disappointed. Jilly you are truly an amazing author. Please start the next book soon.

One of the weirdest books of all time

Does jilly cooper know anything about football? It seems not. Also not enough of what makes Jilly Cooper special…

Another stonker

Superb book. Brilliantly read. Prefer this narrator to the previous one for other books who was good but this is better.

Good ending to the RCB saga

Loved it. Sad that it’s the last book. Wrapped everything up nicely. I thought the narrator was great!

Hooray for Gilly

Huge fun. So lovely to have so many word puns and the animals are as much characters as the humans. Her book rings true on many levels showing the bitchiness from some of the wags, the shallowness of many of the personalities and the sheer guts and bloody mindedness of Rupert.

Keep writing Gilly, you are a total delight and cheer one up in this wicked world!
