Synopsis

‘Powerful and thoughtful’ Don McRae, ‘A fascinating and incredibly honest insight into the pressurised life of an elite athlete, on and off the pitch’ Piers Morgan RAW. REVEALING. REFLECTIVE. The candid autobiography. This audio edition includes an exclusive in-conversation interview with Danny as he reflects on his life and career Danny Cipriani has always been searching for . On the pitch, it was a line-break or space. A chink of light to dart through. An angle that no one else could see. Off the pitch, it was seeking a path through the pressure, fame and chaos that came with being anointed the ‘Saviour of English Rugby’. Who Am I? Now, for the first time, one of the most compelling personalities in the sport reflects on who he was, where he’s come from and the man he’s become. Alongside his astute insight into playing under Martin Johnson, Stuart Lancaster and Eddie Jones, Danny also talks about chasing his dreams, his desire and passion to represent England, and his drive to become the best player he could be. This is the story of a once complicated man. A man searching for answers. A man trying to understand who he is.

Goodreads review by Sam on November 30, 2023

I really, really wanted to like Danny Cipriani. I’ll never forget that season where he got us (Wasps) to within three minutes of winning the Premiership.

Goodreads review by Peter on February 05, 2024

I'm not a rugby union fan but I was aware of Danny Cipriani in a tangential way. His name brought forward thoughts of a brilliant player who never seemed to hit the heights his skills suggested as well as being a regular presence in the tabloid gossip pages. This book zig zagged around and could have......more

Goodreads review by john r s baker on October 28, 2024

This is a puzzling book. I am a Gloucester fan and wanted to like Cipriani as he had a brilliant spell at the cherry and whites. Having completed the book, it isn't easy. He is a contradictory character and seems, at least in part, to be in denial. He only rates two rugby coaches, Ashton and Edwards,......more

Goodreads review by Grant on August 27, 2024

Three and a half stars. Rugby's 'bad boy' Danny Cipriani has his say in this enjoyable and honest autobiography. There aren't many England or club coaches who escape his criticism in this book. A decent page turner that doesn't overtax the brain.......more
