Jonny Wilkinson is a sporting superstar. His achievements on the pitch are second to none in today's game. His determination and skills are admired and loved by rugby fans and non-rugby fans alike. But despite the acclaim and the celebrity that inevitably goes with it, Jonny Wilkinson is a very private man, shunning exposure and publicity whenever possible. Up to now, he has let his kicking, handling and tackling do the talking for him. Here, for the first time, he opens up in his own words to reveal his hopes and fears, his motivations, and the pressures that go hand-in-hand with becoming an icon for his generation. In My World, Jonny Wilkinson also talks openly for the first time about the England World Cup campaign and the pressure he was under during those dramatic final moments when he won the cup for his country. Lavishly illustrated with never previously seen photographs of Jonny Wilkinson playing rugby, training and relaxing, My World is a fascinating insight into the life and lifestyle of the world's most famous rugby player.
