Read this Book! - By: , 03 Apr 2006 
Without a doubt one of the best autobiographies i have read, couldn't put it down!The book works because its open & honest,and i just didnt realise how funny Will Greenwood is!Its written in a laid back style, which means you don't have to concentrate too hard when your reading it, its almost like he's telling the story to a mate. I also thought it was good because it shows the highs & lows of being a professional rugby player, & it also gave me a new incite as to just how prepared the England team were for the World cup. The whole book just flowed & I was disappointed when it finished!great book!
Beautiful, Hilarious, everything - By: Don Domineco The Don, 28 Dec 2005 
Easily one of the best autobiographies i have read hands down. At times hilarious & at times desperatley sad. his account of his son Freddie's death always gets me down & nealry gets me crying(i'm a guy). his view on rugby on & off the pitch is fantastic & his stories on Austin Healey are some of the funniest you could find. Also when Lewis Moody(Mongo) told on of the most important people in Australia to f**k off, i almost fell out of my chair. what a book & what a guy.
**Read For Fun** - By: , 12 May 2005 Will has saved us going over the stats of games which is good if like me you have read quite a few rugby books already. Instead we are left with accounts of his life as a player etc.
Its a casual read as he writes as if hes speaking to a mate down the pub. But, it is also funny, especiallly if you're a Tigers fan like me. The stories of Austin Healey alone make it worth reading! The guy's hilarious.
Will certainly doesn't hold back when talking about players & off the feild stories which is refreshing. Had he been a footballl player I doubt the book would survive in this edition.
He also puts rugby/sport into perspective when he tells us of the troubles with his wife & children. The only problem I have is the design of the cover. The type & imagery are so messy. Its trivial but im an art student so forgive me! Last thought: To be fair, I did read this book in about 4 hrs without puttin it down.
Buy this book now! - By: Mark Colley, 08 Mar 2005 Having read many sports autobiographies & biographies, this is out amongst the best,A very funny,sad & personal account of his rugby & personal life, i loved the little secrets & anecdotes, & descriptions of the players & the world of rugby, martin johnson may have been the captain, but I dont think the squad would have been as succesful without the likes of will & his personality.
Buy the book, you will laugh & cry, great read!
A quite brilliant account of life as a world cup winner. - By: Sam Clark, 22 Feb 2005 As a sport-mad person, I read a lot of autobiographies, including Gazza, Matt Dawson, John McEnroe, Jonny Wilkinson, amongst others, & I've enjoyed them alll, but Will is a step above the rest. He portrays himself as a regular person who in many ways has been exceptionallly lucky, but in others has been very unlucky. He proves himself to be a very witty writer & a very good story-teller. Ok everyone knows how we won the world cup thanks to Jonny, but no-one had experienced the highs & lows of life during the tournament more than Will Greenwood, he had made a round the world trip to see his sick pregnant wife after scoring the winning try against the South-Africans. He gives a personal & thourough account of what he was going through. The book can make you cry in places, but it makes you laugh in more. A brilliant account of the world cup & how much effort & commitment is needed to achieve the triumph. YWhen you've read the book & it ends with the world cup win (sorry if I spoilt the end!!) & the birth of his son, you just get the overwhelming feeling that it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
