  Here, for the first time, Will Greenwood tells his story. From his childhood growing up in his father's shadow, to his determination to overcome huge personal loss to achieve his sporting ambition following the tragic death of his prematurely born son Freddy, Greenwood will reveal all; including of course, what it was like to have been a member of the team that will go down in sporting history, the 2003 England World Cup winning rugby team. He will give us unprecedented insights into how the team coped with the stresses and strains of the competition, and how he himself overcame personal fears after his wife Carol, pregnant with their second child, was rushed to hospital with complications - he flew home hours after helping England beat South Africa and returned to Australia in time for England's decisive matches, including the final against Australia. Greenwood will tell us what the atmosphere was like in the dressing room, both before and after that incredible final match, and also how he is coping with his new celebrity status, the unparalleled press attention and what it was like receiving his honours from the Queen.
