Publisher's Synopsis

Leicester hooker Richard Cockerill has earned himself a certain notoriety in the world of rugby as a forthright character more than capable of ruffling a few feathers. The latest in a line of abrasive individuals, some people have accused Cockerill of talking too much. This book aims to give readers a chance to make up their own minds. It presents the high-pressure world of the professional rugby player, inside the dressing-rooms and round the training camps, with particular insight into the England camp before, during, and after the World Cup. Cockerill covers all aspects of his character, from his brushes with authority to his thoughts on the conflicting Jekyll and Hyde labels placed on him by fans and press.
