Leeds Rhinos and Great Britain forward Barrie McDermott is a modern rugby legend. Often described as notorious by the press, he admits he has had more punch-ups than hot dinners. McDermott has been at the very top of British Rugby League for more than a decade, starring for Oldham, Wigan and Leeds and earning caps for England, Ireland and Great Britain. But what is not widely known is that McDermott has achieved all this despite having lost an eye in a shooting accident when he was just 15. Away from rugby he has had regular brushes with the law - and in 1996 made headlines when he was the first person in the country to be arrested by police using CS gas. He later spent time behind bars after skipping bail to play for Leeds in a match in Paris, being arrested as he got off the plane on the homeward journey. He has appeared before the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee many times, missing over 40 matches through suspension. This outspoken autobiography of one of rugby's hardest men lifts the lid on one of the most remarkable careers in British sport.

Well, I never...Barrie McDermott coming across all thoughtful and modest (sort of). Seriously, from a man who readily admits he was a firebrand on the field, a bit ill disciplined always ready to wallop the hell out of any player foolish enough to face him, this is a touching, funny account of his life in Rugby League. He mentions all my favourites players and memorable games they were in either alongside him or desperately trying to avoid his fists! What comes across though is his sheer love of the game, the realization that his temper sometimes got the better of him but how he learnt from his mentors and how he is a different man off the field, a loving dad and husband. Great story from one of RL's toughest players. Although the book was written ten years ago and Barrie was still playing then, he alludes to his after playing career, thinking that he may be into coaching or training, in the 'future'. As all RL fans know, Barrie is now a Superleague pundit with his buddy Terry O'Connor, so thankfully, he STILL has a role in the game he loves so much.Thanks Barrie, a rugby league legend ...I absolutely loved it!Product details
