Barry John by Barry John

Barry John by Barry John

Barry John has often been referred to as the George Best of rugby. Considered by many to be the greatest rugby player of his generation, he possessed the pop-star image: tall, dark and handsome. An idol to millions of sports lovers throughout the world, Barry John was mobbed wherever he went. He also had the world at his feet, just like Best. When Barry John quit rugby at the height of his dazzling career, aged just 27, he caused one of the sporting shocks of the century. He has never fully explained the reasons for his abrupt departure - until now. In this account, he reveals in great detail for the first time why he had to step out of the limelight. Barry John talks openly about his hard-hitting views on the modern game, of the professional explosion and about his fears for rugby union's very future. Describing the 1999 World Cup in his Welsh homeland as "boring", he gives his revolutionary blueprint to rescue the game in the new millennium.

Paul Abbandonato is Sports Editor of the award-winning Wales on Sunday. He lives in Cardiff with his wife and Paula and their three young children Ben, Sam and Joe.
