A talented yet ferocious player, and one of the acknowledged
'bad-boys' of rugby, Mark Jones' on-field brutality was a direct
consequence of the off-field torment he suffered with a
debilitating stammer. In Fighting to Speak, his revealing and
uplifting autobiography, Jones explains how his frustration with
his stutter led to a self-loathing and the internalising of an
explosive hate that only playing rugby could release - with his
unfortunate opponents often on the receiving end of his rage. Sent
off six times and banned for over 33 weeks for violent conduct
during his career, the dual-code Wales international and Great
Britain RL forward was desperately unhappy and detested the
thuggish reputation he'd created. After one exceptionally ugly
incident, when he broke another player's eye socket, Jones realised
that in order to defeat his demons and control his bad behaviour he
needed help to conquer his stammer. Mark Jones fought and won the
hardest battle of his life with a steely determination and has now
found the inner peace and dignity he'd longed for as a young man.
He has decided to tell his story in order to seek redemption for
his violent past on the rugby field, and to help others overcome
their stammers.
