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.

About the Author:

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.
