Auteur: Johnny Sexton
ISBN: 9781844885206
Conditie: Als nieuw

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER

In his hotly anticipated autobiography, Johnny Sexton tells the story of his life and explores the sources of his unmatched will to win.

'Sexton will go down as Ireland's greatest ever player' Gordon D'Arcy, Irish Times

‘A revealing glimpse into the psyche of a serial winner’ Robert Kitson, Guardian

Four European Cups. Four Six Nations championships (including two Grand Slams). A series win in New Zealand. Two stints for Ireland at number 1 in the world. And the World Player of the Year award.

No Irish rugby player has ever achieved more, or been a source of more inspiration to teammates and fans alike, than Johnny Sexton.

Outspoken, on and off the field, Sexton offers an honest look at his childhood, his relationships with key teammates and coaches (including Brian O'Driscoll, Paul O'Connell, Ronan O'Gara, Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell), and his ideas about the game.

But it is also a work of deep self-exploration, tracing the psychological arc of a player who almost always felt embattled, who struggled with self-doubt, and who was still learning new lessons about being a team-mate and a leader into his late thirties.

Intense, witty, perceptive and frank, Obsessed is an autobiography worthy of its author and the essential chronicle of an extraordinary era in Irish rugby.
