Total honesty

Great listen, Danny was totally honest
So refreshing all rugby players are there’s little room
For a bluffer on a rugby pitch and Danny always gave 100% great player with brilliant
Vision also the standard Danny played was
Top level he always played with a smile
Should have been a regular with the lions

Ripped through this

Despite all the headlines about Eddie Jones this book has brought forward, the back story is better value than that - yes, it's probably aimed at Quins fans, but many a rugby fan will enjoy the story and the journey, too. There seems to be a theme in all the autobiographies I have read in recent years... tricky getting into teams, often sporting youth aimed in different directions, poor training facilities, weird coaching standards and practices and multiple rows around puerile behaviour and drink and the despising of the press, oh and the pay really rarely compensates in comparison to other sports - and this book has some of that too, but I found another layer - a more human touch to this story and a lot of honesty. I positively ripped through it (to be fair, it's not that long) and enjoyed more for the romp through it as the story unfolds quickly - if there is a rugby fan in the household, they will no doubt enjoy this - the trials and tribulations and revelations for rugby folks of a certain age who lived through all this will thoroughly enjoy.

honest, humble and an all round good lad.

being a yorkshire man I always loved danny care anyway. knowing he was only 20 miles away as a youngster and I played on his home boyhood pitch many many times, all be it 4 years later. only makes me like him more. a wonderfully honest book from a true stalwart of the game. the true meaning of "old reliable"

Warts and all revelations!

I love the honesty in his books. No punches held back and felt like DC pours out how he really feels about his rugby career and everything in it. I really enjoyed this and if you are a rugby fan you will too. I was so engaged in it I smashed the book in 3 days ( I do have a super long commute to work which means I have time!)

DECENT

Danny Care’s autobiography is a masterclass in storytelling, blending raw honesty with sharp wit. From the chaos of international rugby to the inner workings of a team that often got things right (and sometimes hilariously wrong), Care pulls no punches. His candid take on Eddie Jones’ management style is both revealing and surprisingly fair—though you can tell there’s more he’s holding back for the pub.

Dubbed the “self-proclaimed talisman,” Care leans into his smaller stature and larger-than-life presence with charm and self-awareness. His insights into the modern game are razor-sharp, offering a fresh perspective on tactics, team dynamics, and the mental toll of elite sport. All delivered in the voice of a man who’s clearly spent as much time honing his banter as his box kick.

For anyone looking to understand the game beyond the pitch—or just enjoy a rugby brain dissecting life with humor and heart—this audiobook is a winner. Care’s storytelling is clever, human, and never short of entertaining.
