The autobiography of international rugby referee Nigel Owens, the sport's first openly gay personality. 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.
