The fascinating life and career of England's most capped player of all time, Leicester Tigers' legendary scrum half Ben Youngs.
DESCRIPTION
World Cups. Lions Tours. Playing alongside and under some of the biggest names in rugby, including his own brother. Ben Youngs has done it all and seen it all, so is in a unique position to tell the definitive story of the past fifteen years of English rugby through his own journey.
His autobiography will be bursting with stories from his England and Leicester days, such as that remarkable eighteen-match unbeaten streak under Eddie Jones, when Ben was the first choice number 9.
But this book is so much more than just another rugby story. It will capture Ben’s warm and engaging character, but it will also reveal in stark honesty the dark times he went through, particularly when his family was ripped apart by the deaths of both his sister-in-law and his brother-in-law.
For the first time, Ben will talk candidly about how he overcame those difficulties with the help of the national team’s psychologist. Ben has always been a fan favourite, but that status has been further cemented through his podcast, For the Love of Rugby, which is proving to be hugely popular among rugby devotees. At the heart of this story lies an unbreakable brotherly bond. No other player has a tale like it.
