Synopsis
David Young, captain of Wales and a triple-British Lion, holds a unique place in modern day rugby. Capped by his country in the first World Cup and a British Lions Test two years later, he then went north to establish a formiable reputation in league rugby. In The Young One, Young reveals how promises made by two famous clubs never materialized, forcing him to turn his back on his homeland and rugby union for six years; why the game and culture of rugby league can teach the rival code so much; and how the importance of security in his future life has influenced every step he has taken in sport.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. David Young, captain of Wales and a triple-British Lion, holds a unique place in modern day rugby. Capped by his country in the first World Cup and a British Lions Test two years later, he then went north to establish a formiable reputation in league rugby and shared in another successful World Cup campaign in the 13-a-side code. When rugby union went professional in 1995 he returned to Wales and adjusted to the totally different requirements of union play, becoming a Lion again and the only man to play for them over three different decades. Even greater honours were around the corner for Young - he has led his club side, Cardiff, for three years and taken over the helm of Wales in two Six Nations campaigns. In the "Young One", Young reveals how promises made by two famous clubs never materialised, forcing him to turn his back on his homeland and rugby union for six years; why the game and culture of rugby league can teach the rival code so much; and how the importance of security in his future life has influenced every step he has taken in sport. For the first time the story is told of the attempts by the Welsh Rugby Union to stop him joining rugby league and the letter that set out to rubbish his prospects in the 13-a-side game. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001969602
