14 years since his autobiography, 'Size Doesn't Matter', English rugby's most decorated flanker, Neil Back, returns with a tale of triumphs, heartaches and broken promises. From his anti-hero role as 'the hand of Back' in the Leicester Tigers' European Cup triumph over Munster, to Grand Slam glory and the 2003 World Cup with England, Neil is never far from the story. Here he dissects the Lions disastrous 2005 tour of New Zealand, the ousting of his mentor Dean Richards from Leicester Tigers, and his three years in charge of Leeds, before being recruited by The Rugby Football Club. He also deals with the adjustment from professional sportsman into family and regular working life, despite a critical illness in 2013, which has shaped his perspective on life.
