About this audiobook
Keith Earls started out in senior rugby as a teenage star and during the course of his long career has become one of the most admired and respected players of his generation.
A British amp; Irish Lion at the age of 21, he is now closing in on his 34th birthday and still playing at the top of his game. A native of Limerick city, Earls grew up in one of its most socially disadvantaged housing estates. His natural sporting talent brought him into the privileged bastion of elite rugby union.
His frank and fearless autobiography tells the story of his long struggle to reconcile the world whence he came with the world opened up by his brilliance with an oval ball. Earls has maintained a low profile throughout his career. For the first time he will talk in depth and at length about the inner turmoil that went unseen by team-mates, friends and fans. It is a confessional, intimate and courageous story of the pain that was a constant companion to the glory.
"A top class player, a brilliant team mate, Keith has an incredible story to tell." JOHNNY SEXTON

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow
Brilliant from every facet of the book.
A story that can, should and will definitely become a movie.
Once a person reads this account consisting of a humility and down to earth from one of the world’s most successful Rugby athletes, one will know that it’s not going to be easy to fill the shoes of this book.
Every facet of the book is to be admired.
It a real Treasure - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book and Keith announced his retirement after the World Cup 2023 at the same time at the same time as i was listening to him on this audiobook describing his plans whenever he retires.
