Product Description

Product Description

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.


About the Author

Jonny Wilkinson became England's youngest international for 71 years when he made his debut at fly-half at 18 years old in March 1998. By the end of 2003 he had become a sporting legend. His drop goal in the last seconds of the 2003 Rugby World Cup final won the trophy for England, and he himself was the leading points-scorer in the tournament with 113 points in 6 matches. He is England's all-time record points scorer with 817 points from his 52 caps. He has also won three British and Irish Lions caps. He was awarded the MBE in January 2003, the youngest rugby player of all time to achieve this honour.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring in Parts, 23 Jul 2007
By Mike Reda "miker11" (Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: My World (Paperback)
He's dedicated to his sport, hates publicity and is very down to earth. Compared to other autobiographies, this book is not as interesting. But, then again, he's still very young and hopefully there will be a few more chapters about his future success.

If you are really into Rugby, I suppose you will love this book, but if Rugby is just a mild interest, it will not be as good as read as I hoped it would be. Saying that, it will demonstrat the dedication and focus you need to reach the top. So, for aspiring Rugby players, buy it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Photographic homage to England hero, 14 Dec 2004
By T. Bently "tbently" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Jonny Wilkinson comes across as an intelligent chap and he's written miles of newspaper columns, so I was expecting this book to contain plenty of insight into his training techniques and the World Cup campaign. Unfortunately in reality it consists mostly of lots of large colour photos of Jonny in various outfits, looking as if he's posing for Kays catalogue, with precious little text.

Perhaps this effort was just rushed out for the Christmas market but it's disappointing and seems more like something you would expect David Beckham to produce.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book, 29 Oct 2006
By WSF "crazy chick" (Cambridgeshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My World (Paperback)
I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband who is into his rugby and also because my kids are too! Although I'm not as mad on rugby as them, I thought i'd have a quick read as Johnnys quite a hunk and there are some great pictures of him in this book. However, I started reading bits of it and found it so fascinating that I couldn't put it down! It's a great insight into Johnny's mind and an inspiration for any young would-be rugby players. I'm really glad I bought it for him and would wholeheartedly recommend this to all Johnny fans.
