About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The unfiltered truth about being a rugby player - from the horsey's mouth.

This book is not just about how I got back on my horse and went clippity-clop all the way to the World Cup final in Japan.

It's the story of how a fat kid who had to live up to the nickname Psycho grew up to play (and party) for over a decade with rugby's greatest pros.

From just about surviving the equivalent of 30 car crashes a game and crooning Adele for team spirit, to extensive field notes on the smell of the Scrum and the fine art of on-pitch relief. Then there's rugby's secret naked wrestling scene and how it was exposed.

In my world, you never know how the ball will bounce....

I own the hardback of this book but when I realised that Joe narrated the audio version, I had to indulge in that version instead.

What followed was one of the most honest and insightful looks into the world of Quins number 1 while genuinely making me laugh out loud along the way.

The impressions while recalling conversations really got me... the nickname chapter with Chris Robshaw "England Player" had me giggling like a child along with the impressions of Eddie Jones and Dan Cole.

Very heartfelt section on mental health which was insightful and a change of pace in the book that everyone should take time out to listen/read.

Thank you for sharing Joe. Hopefully few more years of your antics on/off the field still to come.

Did not disappoint

Great insight into a huge character from the last 10 years of premiership and England rugby. Funny and interesting to get a behind the scenes look at what goes on and courageous of Joe to open up about his mental health situation - takes guys to do that and I have a new found respect for him

Honest as they come
