Belonging: The Autobiography

Product Information

It takes so much dedication and commitment to make it to the top, and his sustained success is super impressive and inspiring! natuurlijk moet ik zijn magisch herstel na een schouder blessure tijdens de Lions tour even benoemen, in een kort aantal weken herstellen van een schouder uit de kom en op het top level het veld weer opduiken? But is it also about perthyn – belonging, playing for Wales, working your way through the age-grades and the club matches and regional sides.

Alun Wyn Jones wrote: ‘Kyle Sinckler is good fun, a connection between us in Adam Jones, the tight-head ahead of me for so long for Ospreys and Wales for so long, a coach for him in his formative years was a good icebreaker.

His status within Wales and the wider rugby fraternity puts him on a par with other greats such as Barry/The King, Gareth, JPR, JJ, etc, and he is recognisable simply as “ Alun Wyn”. Clearly a great leader on the field of play it leaves one wondering if his effective approach will be allowed to benefit the off field activities of Welsh / European rugby. He is very honest about his love, but complicated relationship with a father who was a larger than life character, but also how he has sacrificed much of his own personal life to rugby.

Jones verteld ons zijn verhaal in een oprechte manier, verteld veel over spelers met wie hij heeft mogen spelen (zoals mijn grote held, Paul O'Connell) en wat hem heeft gebracht waar hij nu is.From the tightness in your stomach to the look on your team-mates’ faces, the adrenaline starting to flow within. People think they know him but unless you read this book you will never know the REAL Alun Wyn Jones' – Warren Gatland‘One of the greatest, and seemingly indestructible, players in history' – A Daily Mail Book of the YearBelonging is the story about how the boy from Mumbles became the most capped rugby union player of all time. It would also be an asset in schools and sports clubs as a practical text promoting motivation, determination and humility. But is it also about perthyn – belonging, playing for Wales, working your way through the age-grades and the club matches and regional sides.
