A Year in the Centre

A Year in the Centre

by Brian O ' Driscoll (Author)

Synopsis

What a season. Leinster were looking for Heineken Cup glory, Ireland were chasing their first Grand Slam in fifty-seven years, and the Lions went to New Zealand seeking only their second ever series win over the All Blacks. One man was at the heart of everything: Brian O'Driscoll. The Ireland and Lions captain kept a diary charting the toughest and most exhilarating year of his career. From the gruelling winter-time training sessions in Ireland and rehab sessions in Poland to the controversial tackle in New Zealand that ended O'Driscoll's Lions tour and threatened his career, A Year in the Centre is a brutally honest and uniquely revealing glimpse into the life of a rugby superstar who plays it hard on and off the pitch.
