About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'He's one of the best players I've ever played with. As a forward, I'd say he's the best.' Johnny Sexton

Seán O'Brien does not come from a traditional rugby background. He grew up on a farm in Tullow, far from the rugby hotbeds of Limerick and Cork or the fee-paying schools of Dublin. But as he made his way up through the ranks, it soon became clear that he was a very special player and a very special personality.

Now, Seán O'Brien tells the remarkable and unlikely story of his rise to the highest levels of world rugby, and of a decade of success with Leinster, Ireland and the British and Irish Lions.

Heart on hls sleeve. Comes across as a stand-up genuine bloke who loved the battles on the pitch and was hugely motivated to reach the very top.
one of my favourite players (and I am English). shame he suffered so many injuries.
a little slow at the start but stick with it!

Honest proud and direct. Just as he played

The fact Sean narrates himself is class. Needs to be done more for a real authentic feel and he does it very well. Good, funny, down to earth character and a legend of Irish rugby

Very Good

Some lAd he is

As an ex player and huge rugby fan. I tend to read most autobiographies of players etc. Like many, I get frustrated at the formulaic, boring approach taken by many.

This isn’t up there with Rough Ride or It’s Only A Game but Sean’s account of his interesting life is better than most of his contemporaries.

It’s honest… although you get the sense that a person of Sean’s character has a lot more to say. Like the use of painkillers, issue of concussion… be more honest about his career. Understandable he’s not gone no holds barred as he’s still playing.

Enjoyed it though… Good read.

Good rugby boo

Have to say, so much better than all the other recent rugby autobiographies. Sean is go genuine and grounded this autobiography comes alive when read by him.

Ready by Sean makes it come alive

Enjoyable, entertaining and insightful
