Gordon D'Arcy is a retired rugby player who won two Six Nations medals with Ireland, three Heineken Cups with Leinster and toured with the British and Irish Lions. He is second on the list for most Leinster appearances and third on the all-time Leinster try-scorer list, and was named Six Nations Player of the Tournament in 2004. Post-retirement he teamed up with Paul Howard on their initial collaboration, the rugby-themed Gordon’s Game trilogy, which made the bestseller lists in each of the three years of their publication.
