Determined, dedicated and dogmatic, Martyn Williams is the
inspiring number seven lynchpin who has steered club and country to
victory in inimitable style. In his action-packed autobiography, he
writes for the first time about his love for the sport he has made
his own. Starting out with home-town team Pontypridd, he made his
Wales debut aged just 20 and won the Welsh league title with
Pontypridd the following year, repeating the feat in his first
season after joining Cardiff, whom he went on to captain for three
years. Twice a British Lion, his finest hour came as the
award-winning role in Wales' Six Nations championship Grand Slam of
2005. But there is far more to Martyn than his seemingly smooth
career path from valleys rugby to international stardom. He speaks
candidly about the double personal tragedies of losing both his
mother and brother to cancer and of the challenges of combining his
sporting commitments with being a husband and father to his two
children. Full of surprises, he also reveals his passion for both
American football and soccer. A diehard Liverpool fan, he was a
talented centre-half himself in his teenage years. In his
autobiography, Martyn speaks for the first time about the
controversial departure of Mike Ruddock as coach of the national
team, the drinking culture in Welsh rugby in the early years of
professionalism, the infamous Battle of Brive and why he turned
down the chance to captain Wales at the 2003 World Cup. He also
gives his views on the influx of southern hemisphere coaches like
Graham Henry and Steve Hansen, plus the lowdown on how he prepares
and trains and what really goes on in the dressing room. With
coverage of the 2007 RBS Six Nations and revealing portraits of his
team-mates and opponents, this honest, witty, informative and
entertaining autobiography is a must for fans and any sports lover.
