Longy - Booze, Brawls, Sex and Scandal: The Autobiography of the Wild Man of Rugby League

by Sean Long

Sean Long is one of the finest rugby league half-backs to ever pick up the oval ball. Long started his pro career at his hometown club Wigan Warriors and, after a short stop-over at Widnes, he was signed by St Helens in 1997 to fill the boots of another Saints legend, Bobby Goulding. It wasn't long before the Knowsley Road faithful took Longy to their hearts. Long has won every major honour in the game at club level and is the only player in Challenge Cup history to win the Lance Todd Trophy three times as man of the match in the 2001, 2004 and 2006 finals. He also won 15 caps for Great Britain and five for England before retiring from international rugby on 16 April 2007. Still one of the most colourful characters ever to play the game, he continues to wear the No 7 shirt at St Helens.

Enjoyed so much, i read it in one sitting. I was there at cardif with the family half leeds other half cass fans , l was next to the pie eater who abused longy on the betting scandle , sean did restrain him self. That night we found our self in the angel hotel, after a pint with johnny vagas in the public bar and a natter wi scully the other half of the family jumped in the saints team photo holding the challenge cup in a cass shirt. Only that could happen in rugby league best sport and sports men in the world and women.

A Great Read

Well worth reading this book and being honest I respect him more now as it shows that the other side of game and players.

Sean says it how he sees it with this unapologetic slice of life as a misbehaving rugby league player.
