In his unique, touching, and honest memoir, rugby union legend Ben Youngs opens up for the first time.
Ben Youngs has had a dream career. He was born into rugby royalty and has achieved incredible success with both his family club, Leicester Tigers, and the England men's national team, for whom he is the most capped player of all time. His on-field legacy is one that any rugby player would envy.
But there is more to his story than meets the eye. In this deeply personal memoir, the English rugby legend reveals how his remarkable record on the field masks what was, at times, a turbulent off-field life. There have been highs: the 2019 World Cup final; a record-tying eighteen-match unbeaten streak under Eddie Jones; finding friendship, brotherhood, and a home at Leicester Tigers. But there have also been lows: losing two family members to terminal illnesses within a year; withdrawing from the Lions tour in 2017; falling out of love with rugby.
In Beyond the Line, the five-time Premiership champion and member of the 2013 winning Lions Test tour shares his full story with the public. With remarkable honesty, wit, and warmth, he writes about how his relationship with rugby was crucial to his healing process and vividly recounts the lively nights and spontaneous adventures that only those within the inner circle usually get to witness. Inspirational and candid, his story reveals not only the pressures of competition but also the camaraderie and wild experiences that come with a life in rugby.
