Upfront by Jeff Probyn

Jeff Probyn made an extraordinary journey from the heart of London's East End, where he was born, to the front row of an epoch-making England rugby team, with whom he won a record 37th cap at prop just short of his 37th birthday. Probyn did not break into the England side until 1988, but he then became an anchor figure in the highly successful period which brought the team two Grand Slams and a place in the 1991 World Cup Final. His uncompromising approach to the art of scrummaging brought him many admirers - and critics - and his story comes from the focal point of the game where physical strength and courage are under constant examination. In this autobiography he charts his career from schooldays to Twickenham, his battles with the best teams in the world, and the highs and lows of playing for his country. He also looks at the rapidly changing face of club rugby, and predicts of further revolution.
