AB fan takes it to new heights

Max Campbell loves rugby and the All Blacks, and yesterday he was taken to new heights to meet his All Black hero - Ali Williams.
The 6-year-old got the chance to meet the lock at the All Blacks' book signing at Take Note book store in Central Mall yesterday.
Max's mother Eileen Campbell said her son is rugby mad, from posters of the All Blacks on his walls to action figures and cards of his heroes.
"He has played rugby since he was 4. He plays for Ngongotaha and is a natural. He just lives and breaths it."
Rugby runs in the family blood with his uncle, John Moore, a lock for the Bay Steamers.
Max said he hoped to follow in his uncle's footsteps and one day play for the Steamers as well as the All Blacks.
"I like kicking, but I want to be a [flanker]."
The Kaharoa School student said it was awesome to meet Williams.
"He is really tall and he was very friendly to me."
Williams is doing a six-day tour of the country promoting his book, Ali's Book of Tall Tales, which he is adamant is not an autobiography.
"You only write an autobiography when you retire. I've still got a lot to offer the game yet. This book is all about the things you don't get to see about the All Blacks."
He said he enjoyed sitting down with author James Griffin to write the book.
"He didn't know anything about rugby and that was how I preferred it ... It's not a typical rugby book, in fact its not really about rugby."
Max said he was looking forward to getting home and looking through the book.
"I think he is cool and a good All Black. I can't wait to see him play for the All Blacks."
Williams said he hoped to grant Max's wish and hoped to be back in black again next season.
