In 2006 St Helens rugby league club won every single team & individual honour that the sport allowed them to compete for The Saints wiped the floor with all comers domestically & then to top it off they took the World Club crown by beating Brisbane Broncos It was a special season illuminated by the appearance of a genuine Australian superstar in Jamie Lyon but a campaign that had two born & bred Sintelliners in Paul Wellens & Keiron Cunningham as the big beating heart & with mercurial Wiganer Sean Long pulling the strings behind a dominant pack how could they fail? From time to time sport throws up special teams; a collection of individuals at the top of their game that click together & produce a virtually unbeatable machine For one glorious year the men in the red vee from the north west glass town earned their plaudits as one of those special teams As Good As It Gets is the celebration of that team which was so masterful that it was voted BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year The book weaves 'as it happened' reaction with chapters of retrospective analysis from coach Daniel Anderson Man of Steel Paul Wellens Jon Wilkin conditioner Apollo Perelini & prolific scorer Ade Gardner
