Publisher description
Jamie Peacock is the ultimate modern forward in rugby league. Taking the hard hits, making the toughest yards, and leading by example in the Super League and international arenas, JP has come through adversity on and off the pitch to become one of the most respected players of his generation. His strength, determination, and unfailing will to win have seen him claim the "Man of Steel" and "International Forward of the Year" awards, along with a host of other individual honors, while picking up Super League titles and Challenge Cups with Bradford and Leeds. This autobiography is a revelatory and inspirational account of a life in professional sport, from starting out as a skinny youth and being told he wouldn't make the grade to dark days in hospital waiting rooms with his career hanging by a thread, all culminating in the euphoria of winning the Grand Final with hometown club Leeds. Forthright and to the point, Jamie pulls no punches in describing rugby league as he sees it. Replete with opinions and anecdotes, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in what it takes to become one of sport's true gladiators
