Publisher Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEAR
The hilarious, must-read memoir from everyone's favourite Celebrity Traitors Faithful - The truth about being a rugby player from the horsey's mouth.
This book is not just about how a psychiatrist called Humphrey helped me get back on my horse and clippity-clop all the way to the World Cup semi-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 and live weird and wonderful moments both in and out of the scrum.
That's why I'm letting you read my diary on my weirdest days. You never know what you're going to get with me.
From being locked in a police cell to singing Adele on Jonathan Ross (I'll let you decide which is worse), being kissed by a murderer on the number 51 bus to drug tests where clipboard-wielding men hover inches away from my naked genitalia, melting opponents in rucks, winning tackles, and generally losing blood, sweat and ears in the name of the great sport of rugby.
This is how (not) to be a rugby player.

Honest and fun
Title could describe the guy…have always loved his hair styles and on pitch antics. Love the MH disclosures as this is what we all need to do to get through life…honesty and integrity and frankness save lives. Well done Joe! A good read.
Brilliant!!
Some incredibly funny parts with some incredibly sad parts, a really good read!
