It was pencilled in on my list to Santa, is it worth rubbing it out?

Depends what your looking for, it does give a pretty good insight into how the players look at rugby, and that was one of the reasons why i bothered. Unless you work for a club or know sombody well who does then what we as the fans see and what actually goes on are completley different. I think it gives a pretty good overview of what really does go on but you need read between the lines a little.
Its a little disapionting in parts but if you realise he has got his red and white tinted glases on, things like the bit about Milwards sacking( there is no mention of his outburst with Gina Goldrick) then its worth a tenner.

| Nearly finished it. It is obviously written by a beer loving ego maniac with a mental age below school leaving age.
The first story is quite amusing, but I have read many better sporting bigraphies and would not have gone out and bought it for myself.
Don't waste your money.

| I have read the majority of it, and absolutely love it!
It's refreshing to read the REAL story's of the 'out-going' RL player's. He tells it as it is, warts n all.
He's the first person to admit he is wrong for doing the majority of the thing's he has done in life.
After ready Scully's and Peacock's "i won this, and then i won that...." this is actually a true reflection of what was happening on tour's, night's out etc.
WELL WORTH A READ!

'" Thats what I thought! To be fair when reading it you need to remember it has been written by a rugby player telling his stories from his point of view not some award winning writer!

| The serialised columns in the paper put me off. Sounded more like a bloke in the pub telling a series of exaggerated stories to his mates to improve his credibility. I know some autobiographies are boring but Long comes over as a bit sad.

| I've read it (signed copy, no less). I think Longy comes across as quite vulnerable in his book and his childhood story is quite poignant. He isn't disloyal to anyone and it's quite clear from the outset that he is the only plonker he knows (which is part of the reason why he comes across as vulnerable IMO). Some of his stories are funny, although mostly not laugh out loud funny. I think the best one is the one in Hong Kong. That [idid[/i make me giggle out loud.
So long as the person you are buying it for isn't squeamish (thinking of the second story in the book in particular!) and doesn't get offended by bad language then I'd certainly recommend it for a stocking filler at Christmas. I enjoyed the read. But I have very eclectic taste - from Jonathan Kellerman to Ken Saro-Wiwa. That's what you get for being an English grad I guess!

| Sounds like it's the truth according to Sean Long with a bit of poetic licence thrown in. Let's face it, if it was boring then no-one would buy it. It's a bit like some of these fottball hooligan books, if you don't tell a few porkies it all gets very boring and childish.
