It was a pleasure to work with Y Lolfa on the launch of Nigel Owens’ autobiography ‘The Final Whistle’ and Luke Upton’s thrilling read ‘Rugby’s Greatest Mavericks’.
The Final Whistle, Nigel Owens
The long-awaited autobiography of one rugby’s favourite characters. The story of Nigel’s career is one of triumph over adversity, hope over despair. He reached the pinnacle of the refereeing world when given the 2015 World Cup Final, and then went on to win a world-record 100 Caps.
Having officially hung up his whistle and retired from on-field duties he is free to reveal all about his career and to speak his mind on various issues and to give the full story of his fantastic career and inspirational story, coming out as gay in the macho world of rugby union. Nigel Owens talks openly about his tormented teenage years and revisits his attempted suicide in his 20s, and how he overcame his difficulties to become a favourite in the rugby world.
