Description
The autobiography of rugby union star Glenn Webbe: the first black player to play for Wales, the first black British player to appear in a Rugby World Cup and the first of any color to score a hat-trick of tries. A real ground-breaker in the sport in Britain, and a black icon, Webbe talks in depth about the experience of being a black rugby player in the 1980s, what it was like to be the first person of his race to represent Wales, his attitude to the ignorance and racism which can still rear its ugly head in the sport today, and the good humor with which he faced the prejudice he encountered in his career. The son of Windrush generation parents, Webbe played for Bridgend for 14 seasons and his 250+ tries in 404 matches for them gave him a strike rate second to none. Capped 10 times for Wales and loved by teammates and supporters alike, he is also famous for his trademark humor and practical jokes, and reveals many hilarious behind-the-scenes stories.
