Keith Earls started out in senior rugby as a teenage star and
during the course of his long career has become one of the most
admired and respected players of his generation. A British &
Irish Lion at the age of 21, he is now closing in on his 34th
birthday and still playing at the top of his game. He has won 93
caps for Ireland and played 179 times in the famous red of Munster.
He started every game of the 2018 Six Nations campaign that
culminated in an Irish Grand Slam victory. A lethal finisher
blessed with thoroughbred speed, Earls is the second-highest try
scorer of all time for his country. With Munster he is one try
short of the all-time total and looks set to break that record next
season. Behind the glittering success, there is another story to be
told. He has achieved these milestones whilst being racked by
private battles with his mental health for most of his career. A
number of crises brought him to the brink of voluntary retirement
from the game. A long series of injuries have taken their
psychological toll too. A native of Limerick city, Earls grew up in
one of its most socially disadvantaged housing estates. Moyross was
blighted by crime and violence and he did not escape unscathed from
the surrounding fear and trauma visited upon his beloved community.
His natural sporting talent brought him into the privileged bastion
of elite rugby union. His frank and fearless autobiography tells
the story of his long struggle to reconcile the world whence he
came with the world opened up by his brilliance with an oval ball.
Earls has maintained a low profile throughout his career. For the
first time he will talk in depth and at length about the inner
turmoil that went unseen by team-mates, friends and fans. It is a
confessional, intimate and courageous story of the pain that was a
constant companion to the glory.
