Garin Jenkins by Garin Jenkins
Garin Jenkins is the most capped front-row forward in Welsh rugby history. But behind the success lies a tragic and often complicated personal life that has shadowed his every triumph on the pitch. This book takes the reader through the private tragedies and personal triumphs, from juvenile delinquent to Welsh rugby hero. It also details how Garin took part in the 1984 miners strike and recounts the shocking attack from a knife-wielding Spanish thug which almost cost Garin his sight. Despite all the controversies, violent match incidents and his brushes with authority, Garin has become one of the most dependable, influential and inspirational players avaliable to Wales. This is the story of an ordinary man who has triumphed in the face of adversity.
In spite of his international success Garin Jenkins has stayed true to his roots, making his home in the South Wales village where he grew up. Gareth Roberts is a rugby reporter for the national newspaper, The Western Mail and has been writing about the game since 1977. He is a dedicated sports journalist and has worked for at the Evening Post and Wales on Sunday.
