Here’s the England Rugby Jeremy Guscott. Autobiography. Book Preview  –

This is the memoir of the English rugby player, Jeremy Guscott. He went from club ranks to become an England player and a British Lion in the same weekend, and here he tells of the tensions of life in Will Carling”s England and at the Rugby World Cup.

Jeremy Guscott burst onto the international Rugby Union platform with a hat-trick on his England debut. In partnership with Will Carling at the centre of Englan’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, not to mention his modelling, Guscott’s appeal goes far beyond the rugby world. This 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, and reveals what life was like during English rugby’s golden era of the 1990s.

From the early years in Bath  through his rise to the British Lions the story of the “Prince of Centres”
