Description:
This autobiography provides a personal and in-depth look at the remarkable rugby career of Mike Catt, MBE, a South African-born player who became a cornerstone of the England national team. The book recounts his journey from his roots in Port Elizabeth to his successful career in English rugby, where he became a key player for clubs like Bath and London Irish. Catt offers insights into his experiences as a versatile player, excelling at various positions including fullback, fly-half, and centre. He shares anecdotes and reflections on his time with England, including participating in the 1995 Grand Slam squad, the disappointment of the 1995 World Cup where he famously encountered Jonah Lomu, and his crucial role in England's victorious 2003 World Cup campaign. Catt also details his unexpected international recall in 2007, where he captained England in the Six Nations, and his final appearance in the 2007 World Cup final, becoming the oldest player to feature in the event. Beyond the pitch, the book delves into personal challenges, including the difficult birth of his daughter, providing a candid and honest account of his life's highs and lows. This signed first edition hardback is a valuable collectible for rugby enthusiasts and fans of sports biographies, offering a unique perspective from one of the most distinguished and respected figures in the sport.
