A rugby genius, yet 'only' a one-cap wonder. A young thug, who received a bravery award while in prison. A misfit, yet a cult hero to some. Jekyll and Hyde in rugby boots. David Bishop saved two people's lives, overcame a broken neck, and inspired Pontypool to new heights. On the flip side was violence, prison and a huge, career-defining WRU ban. His League career didn't play out smoothly, nor did a stint coaching Pooler, and then came drug addiction, divorce, depression and a stroke.Undeterred, he picks his way through a tumultuous life looking for answers, laughing and crying in equal measure.An extraordinary, no-holds-barred account, laced with humour, warmth and rare candour. A rugby book like no other.
Rugby star David Bishop was one of the most talented players of his generation. Full of contradictions, he rose to fame at Pontypool RFC as a genius on the field, but there was also violence, drug use and crippling depression after retirement. This frank, tell-all autobiography is unputdownable.
