Martin
Johnson is the towering second row forward who has come to set the standards of
what a modern, professional rugby player should do. His drive and physical
presence mean that he is a natural leader on the pitch - and off it, too. In
"Martin Johnson Autobiography" he looks at
how the sport has changed since going professional in 1995 and the issues this
has raised. He explains why he led the England team to the brink of a strike in
the autumn of 2000 and provides revealing insights into England's World Cup
campaigns, the Lions tours and all the goings-on that make rugby the sport it
is. Martin Johnson has achieved all there is to achieve in rugby since making
his England debut in 1992. He has captained his club, Leicester, to all the
major honours, winning four successive league titles (1999-2002) and two
European cups (2001-2002); he's led England with huge success, including the
2003 Grand Slam, winning 74 caps by May 2003 and captaining the British Lions
on two tours. |
