Bomb: My Autobiography

A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged. In rugby, there are the Flash Harrys and the Glory the fly-halves who run, kick and dazzle; the scrum-halves who nip and dart; the wingers who step an d glide. These are the players who get the crowd on their feet, who set sta diums abuzz. But they only get to do these things because other, less glorified figures do all of the donkey work. Adam Jones is one such figure. And for a decade he was one of the world's best. On many occasions when George North or Shane Williams were careering under the posts to score a try, and the crowd was engulfed in rapturous joy, Adam Jones would be hauling himself up from the turf, spitting blood and mud, a nd massaging his aching neck. He hadn't scored the try; but more often than not it was his graft and strength which had made it. This is the story of 'Bomb': the self-effacing manual labourer from the Swa nsea Valley who traded laying paving slabs for running out in some of the w orld's most imposing sporting citadels. He rose to the pinnacle of his spor t, winning virtually everything there was to be Grand Slams, Six Nations Ch ampionships, Lions tours, Pro12 titles. In a nation of rugby heroes, Adam Jones has become a legend. Only six Welsh men can say they've won three Grand Slams. He is one of not just as a bit-p art player, but as the beating heart of the most successful squad in Welsh rugby history. His was one of the first names on the team sheet. He was - l iterally and metaphorically - the cornerstone of this Welsh side. In his autobiograph.
