George North

'There's no other place I'd rather have begun, no other place I ever wanted to reach. This is my story.'
The first autobiography from legendary Welsh rugby player George North.
George North is a true legend of Welsh rugby, an integral part of the national team for fourteen years.
Recently retired from the international game, he is the third-most-capped player in Welsh history with 121 Test appearances, the youngest player ever to reach 100 caps, and the second-highest try scorer with 47.
At club level, he has played for the Scarlets, Northampton and Ospreys, and latterly Provence in France.
North is open, charismatic, thoughtful but hugely competitive, and this is the first time he has reflected on his extraordinary career. Co-written with the brilliant sportswriter Tom Fordyce, this autobiography is an utterly compelling and enthralling retrospective, taking in George’s life growing up in Anglesey on the North Welsh coast, before he burst onto the scene when he became the youngest player ever to score a try on his debut aged just 18.
Full of heart and passion, George’s story is a uniquely inspirational insight into the art, mastery and sheer force of the game of rugby.
The perfect gift for rugby fans this Christmas.
In this memoir, North not only shares his journey as a top player in the rugby world, but also provides a cultural insight into the sport that has shaped his life. His experiences, from his regional beginnings in Anglesey to his latest achievements on the international stage, are recounted with a raw and captivating honesty.
