Half Time: The Autobiography - Softcover
Nigel Owens is one of the best referees in world rugby. But before reaching the highest echelons of the game, he went through a personal crisis and "came out" as gay - the first to do so in the macho world of professional rugby. His bravery earned him great respect from players, officials and supporters alike. In this warm, funny and painfully honest autobiography, he speaks frankly about his struggle to accept himself for who he was, leading to attempted suicide, bulimia and steroid addiction. Owens also recounts many amusing incidents from rugby matches, foreign trips and his off-field career as an entertainer.

He was the only Welsh referee at the 2007 Rugby World Cup and is seen by players and fans alike as one of the best refs in the world. Owens tells of his tormented teenage years in a Welsh village and his attempted suicide in his 20s. He also recounts how he became a heavy user of steroids and suffered with bulimia. But this is a story of triumph over adversity, as he overcame his difficulties to become a highly-respected referee and a favorite figure in the rugby world. He has also become a Welsh-language TV personality and comedian. An English and updated version of Hanner Amser, published in 2008. Nigel Owens is a familiar figure on stage and television, and is considered one of the best rugby referees in the world.
