About this ebook

A childhood on a tough estate in Bridgend. Teenage years on building sites across Europe. Not the typical route to rugby stardom, but one that took Lee Byrne to the very top of world rugby, earning him 46 caps for Wales as one of the nation's best-ever full backs. This book charts his meteoric rise from Bridgend Athletic to the Scarlets and the Ospreys, winning a Grand Slam with Wales and selection for the Lions along the way. In this no-holds-barred autobiography, Lee Byrne reveals all about his gambling habit, how he's come to terms with dyslexia, and how he struggled with depression after his enforced retirement due to injury. He lifts the lid on his refusal to play under Rob Howley, gives us a glimpse into rugby drinking culture and players' and coaches' hilarious off-field antics, and opens up about how the death of his good friend Jerry Collins affected him.
