A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Five minutes into a rugby match between Bala and Nant Conwy on 21 April 2007, the first scrum collapsed leaving Bala hooker, Bryan 'Yogi' Davies, with life-changing injuries: a broken neck and damaged lungs. This book tells the story of his life before the accident and his heroic fight for survival following the scrum that changed his life. The book is set in three parts: part one of each chapter follows developments since his accident, part two looks back at Yogi's life before the tragic scrum and his struggle against the odds even then, whilst part three conveys the thoughts and reactions of his wife Susan to events - the policewoman who has been a tower of strength throughout to Yogi and the children. This book if full of humour and sadness, and is a picture of optimism and fortitude in the face of tragedy. Sadly, weeks before publication, Yogi passed away. But, with a postscript, a tribute by his daughter and his final letter, this book should prove to be an inspiration to everyone.
