Winner of the Rugby Book of the Year award at the British Sports
Book Awards 2012 Alastair Hignell is renowned as a rugby
international for England, a county cricketer and a much-loved
broadcaster. Forced to retire from his playing careers at an early
age due to injury, and then from his broadcasting career when his
struggle with MS became too overwhelming, he has nonetheless lived
life to the full. Higgy tells his inspirational story with warmth
and humour - from growing up as a bright and very competitive young
lad, on to his successful Cambridge university days where he was
the first person to captain both the rugby and cricket first teams,
through his playing careers against and alongside some of the
all-time greats in both sports, and a prominent broadcasting career
that took him around the world to cover some of the biggest
sporting events and characters. All this success was brought into
sharp relief by his diagnosis with MS, which eventually forced his
retirement from broadcasting but also prompted him to become one of
the leading campaigners for those suffering from the disease.
Higgy's has been a tough journey, and his story is a fascinating
example of strength and determination when faced with adversity.
Appealing to a broad range of sports fans, this story is about
setbacks and triumphs, about making the shift from the athletic
struggles of sport to the struggle of performing everyday tasks.
It's the genuine and emotional story of how a highly successful
sportsman faced up to a devastating illness and became one of the
most inspiring personalities of our age.
