Johno is god - Rated
This book is a must for all fans of the true rugby. Union. This book gives a great account of Johno as a human being and not some egotistical superstar. At a time when rugby union was a farce of international proportions before they went professional. The transition from schoolboy to world cup winner is a fantastic story. I salute you sir, a great captain for England and a great read too.

As good as Johnson himself - Rated
An absolutely brilliant book. As he did throughout his career, Johnson was never afraid to speak his mind and to give his opinion. He talks on a number of highly topical issues and gives a unique insight into some of the realities, which sometimes alot of fans forget, that face modern rugby players. You really feel that Johnson gave himself to this book and did not shirk honesty or detail at any point. An excellent read if you are a rugby fan, and even if you're not! 100% recommended.

Great Read - Rated
its a brilliant read for any one not just rugby fans but any one who wants a brilliant excitin funny read from a tuley honnest man!

'Frank' Martin Johnson - Rated
Typical Martin Johnson. This is the best autobiography I have read purely because of how frank Johnson is. It is refreshing to read honest opinions on everything from the state of the game of rugby, opposing teams, fans and referees as well as his own team mates. Johnson is not afraid to say what he wants about any subject. It is easy to see how he was picked as Lions captain in 97 and then England captain because of his strong work ethic and fearlessness on and off the pitch.

I found it hard to put this down as once you start reading it you want to follow his career from all the low points, ranging from leading a potential strike of the England team, his days as a junior Kiwi, stuggles at club level with injuries all the way to that amazing game in oz lifting the world cup. It is actually gripping stuff even for non rugby fans (my mum has now read it) which is a sign of true character as you can still get to know what makes this great leader tick without needing to know what the hell a rugby ball is. A rare quality and one definalty worth a read.

True Englishman in every sense of the word, Strong, Brave, brutely honest, polite, self confident and inspirational.

A very big man. - Rated
As an autobiography goes this is a great read,if you did,nt know much about the game of rugby before you surely will after reading this.Big Martin comes across as a dour yet likeable type of bloke,a great captain and a man anyone would be proud to know and be in the trenches with.If there is a fault with the book it would probably be to much rugby and not enough personel stuff,but what the hell he,s Englands greatest RUGBY captain so it would for the most part be about the game.I,m only sorry i did,nt get to the Ulster- Leicster game a few weeks ago and got the great man to autograpth my copy.A superb book.
