'So powerful. This book might just change the way you think about
sport forever' - Sir Clive Woodward 'As brave as they come' -
Gareth Thomas 'I'm in my early forties. There are days when I don't
remember the names of my wife and four kids . . .' In 2003, England
won the Rugby World Cup. Steve Thompson was in England's front row,
at the heart of the match, and at the heart of the scrum - one of
sport's most violent battlegrounds. But triumph came at a cost.
Today, he remembers nothing about playing in that final. In his
words, watching the tape back is like watching a ghost. The years
of hurt, and the culture of sucking up punishment and coming back
for more, have taken a terrible toll. Steve has been diagnosed with
early onset dementia, and serious progressive brain damage. Steve
and his wife Steph had a happy family life planned, with decades
ahead of them. Now he needs to capture these elusive memories for
the sake of his children, before they disappear forever. With
stories contributed by his world-cup winning teammates and his
former manager, Sir Clive Woodward, Unforgettable is raw, powerful
storytelling. This tale of hope and courage stands as testament to
the ultimate strength of the human mind - and to a man no longer
pushing himself to the limit for competition, but for his own place
in the world.
