Made For Rugby: The Autobiography Book
A controversial autobiography by one of rugby league's most famous players - Barrie McDermott. Leeds Rhinos and Great Britain forward Barrie McDermott is a modern rugby legend. Often described as notorious by the press he admits he has had more punch-ups than hot dinners. McDermott has been at the very top of British Rugby League for more than a decade starring for Oldham Wigan and Leeds and earning caps for England Ireland and Great Britain. But what is not widely known is that McDermott has achieved all this despite having lost an eye in a shooting accident when he was just 15. Away from rugby he has had regular brushes with the law - and in 1996 made headlines when he was the first person in the country to be arrested by police using CS gas. He later spent time behind bars after skipping bail to play for Leeds in a match in Paris being arrested as he got off the plane on the homeward journey. He has appeared before the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee many times missing over 40 matches through suspension. This outspoken autobiography of one of rugby's hardest men lifts the lid on one of the most remarkable careers in British sport.Read More
