Jeremy Guscott Autobiography

by Jeremy Guscott

Jeremy Guscott burst onto the international platform with a hat-trick on his England debut. In partnership with Will Carling at the centre of England's midfield, he helped his country to three Grand Slams, but will perhaps be best remembered for his drop goal that secured victory for the British Lions on their 1997 tour of South Africa. With a burgeoning career as a TV presenter, Guscott's appeal goes far beyond the rugby world. This revealing autobiography tells the story not just of the highs, but of the tension of facing a prison sentence during a trial for a road rage attack, for which he was eventually cleared.

[Pete daPixie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book I acquired from the local Tesco supermarket, buried under the mountain of fictional novels. Guscott's autobiography filled in the gaps of my knowledge of his career with Bath, which played out in the eighties and nineties, prior to my watching club rugby. I did see him play in the five Nations competitions from the comfort of my armchair and now appreciate his television punditry with the BBC.
Sadly his career, and this autobiography just fell short of England's 2003 World Cup winning exploits.

Arrogant rotter. But a gifted player and an entertaining read.
