"Brilliant on the pitch, less good in print"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Eagerly awaited, but like the nice guy he is, Brian doesn't speak ill of anyone. I was left feeling that something was lacking. As a long running captain of Ireland, and the most capped player ever, there is little detail here about test match pressure, and the winning and losing of matches and trophies. Brian leave us with a sense of not having achieved all that he could done, both on the field and in print.

Description

This is the long-awaited autobiography of the greatest rugby player of our time: Brian O'Driscoll. Since 1999, when he made his international debut, there has been no greater player in world rugby than Brian O'Driscoll. In 2010 Rugby World magazine named him its world player of the decade - and since then the legend has only grown. Now, at the end of his amazing career - which culminated in fairy-tale fashion with Ireland's victory in the 2014 Six Nations championship - he tells his own story. Honest, gritty and thoughtful, Brian O'Driscoll's Autobiography is not just an essential sports book. It is an essential book about family, friends, hard work, courage and imagination. "An amazing career. There will only ever be one BOD". (Dan Carter). "A thoroughly enjoyable read ...After reading The Test I warmed even more to O'Driscoll as a player and a man. He stood for a new ethos in Irish sport that refused to accept mediocrity or glorious failure". (Fergal Keane, Irish Times). "O'Driscoll's honesty ...takes the reader to a place they simply have not been before". (Vincent Hogan, Irish Independent).
