About this deal

A very British hero, the unassuming yet utterly superb Kevin Sinfield – rugby league great turned rugby union coach turned charity fundraiser, all while carrying a torch for the true meaning of sport and friendship.

A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defence coach for the England national rugby union team, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. About the Author: Born in Oldham and known affectionately as 'Sir Kev', Kevin Sinfield retired in 2016 as an idol of the Leeds Rhinos' golden years and as a former England captain. As we know, he hit upon running seven marathons in seven days, a figure revolving around Burrow’s shirt number. In Autumn 2020 Kevin Sinfield ‘just went for a run for a mate’ after his former Rugby League teammate Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019. Speaking as a person with a long term illness I know only too well that some friends (not all) disappear when the going gets tough.What a thoroughly genuine man Kevin Sinfield is and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for all the money he has raised and the awareness of this cruel disease. Sinfield will start on Friday, December 1, running between Leeds and York, and finish on Thursday, December 7, in London, going from Twickenham to the Mall. Like my mate Rob, Charlie has also shared his experiences of living with MND with the public to raise awareness of this awful disease.

Kevin puts team first both in his rugby days and more recently as he has gathered some trusted people to help him help Rob Burrows.There were some stories which scratched a surface and didn't delve much deeper which I would have liked but there was a lot to cram in I guess. A rare memoir where the anuthor’s achievements that first made him famous (rugby), aren’t the majority of the book. He was to become a league legend: 521 games for Leeds Rhinos, a 13-year England career, 14 Great Britain caps, seven Grand Final wins, appearance and scoring records galore, runner-up to Andy Murray in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards, even the first RL player to appear on Desert Island Discs, when he chose a self-propelled treadmill as his luxury item. Sinfield continues to be a leader on and off the field, through his fundraising and now as defence coach for the England national rugby union team.

This book is for anyone who wants to be inspired to make a difference to someone's life even in a small way.at the last count, but more than that has helped bring the disease into the mainstream, has prompted people with symptoms to go to their doctor, has helped victims realise that they still have a life to lead. Perhaps rightly, and not surprisingly, Kev attributes the majority to his fundraising efforts - but not told for self-appreciation or back-patting. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defensive coach for the England national rugby union team, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. Century's diverse non-fiction list includes Sunday Times bestseller Ross Kemp and autobiographies from major celebrities such as Rod Stewart, Peter Kay, Dawn French, James Corden, Eric Clapton and David Jason, and a broad range of exceptional non-fiction writing from authors such as Richard Bacon, Duncan Hamilton, and Christopher Sykes.

For the MND community, every second counts and we will be making the most of every step on this challenge to raise awareness, funds and support for that community. The genius of Sinfield is not in his writing, which is good it lies within the thought processes that he portrays so well. We’re doing this for the 5500 people living with MND in the UK and Republic of Ireland right now and every penny you can donate will make a huge difference. I wanted it to give them a glow inside that our team [he had two fellow runners for the Ultra 7] were willing to go through hell too.

I did say last year that the Ultra 7 in 7 would complete the trilogy but there was always that caveat that Rocky 4 was my favourite Rocky film,” said Sinfield. A year later he did the Ultra 7 in 7 – seven ultra marathons in seven days, Murrayfield to Old Trafford. He earned 61 caps for Scotland during a successful playing career, represented the British and Irish Lions on their successful tour to South Africa in 1997, and won championships with his two club sides, Melrose and Newcastle Falcons. He is the best of men ― The Telegraph --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
