Riassunto

What a season. Leinster were looking for Heineken Cup glory, Ireland were chasing their first Grand Slam in fifty-seven years, and the Lions went to New Zealand seeking only their second ever series win over the All Blacks. One man was at the heart of everything: Brian O'Driscoll. The Ireland and Lions captain kept a diary charting the toughest and most exhilarating year of his career. From the gruelling winter-time training sessions in Ireland and rehab sessions in Poland to the controversial tackle in New Zealand that ended O'Driscoll's Lions tour and threatened his career, A Year in the Centre is a brutally honest and uniquely revealing glimpse into the life of a rugby superstar who plays it hard on and off the pitch.

L'autore:

Brian O'Driscoll was born in Dublin in 1979 and started playing rugby for Blackrock College. After doing a sports management course in University College Dublin he became a professional rugby-player and was picked to play for Ireland in 1999. At 21 he scored a hat-trick of tries against France, and at 23 he was made captain of Ireland. He is now Ireland's all time leading try-scorer and has earned the unquestioned admiration of rugby pundits across the globe. In 2001 he was a first-string player on the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia, and this year he captains the Lions on their tour of New Zealand.
