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.
