Matt Dawson: Nine Lives |
||||||||||
|
"Matt Dawson: Nine Lives" is the honest and hard-hitting memoirs of the most capped England rugby scrum-half of all time, a captain of his country, a two-times British Lions tourist and now a Rugby World Cup winner. Matt Dawson narrates his twelve-year journey in a sport transformed beyond recognition. The boy from Birkenhead learnt the game the hard way, but despite the frequent visits to the operating theatre and the physio's table hard graft for his club Northampton eventually heralded international recognition. Dawson talks about the influential, and occasional obstructive figures in his blossoming career: the likes of John Olver, Will Carling, Ian McGeechan and, more recently, Wayne Shelford and Clive Woodward. Following England’s Rugby World Cup 2003 success, Dawson also provides a first-hand account of all the dressing room drama – including a troubled Jonny Wilkinson – and the memorable final itself, followed by the stunning reaction to this historic win back home. |
