Brian Moore, or ' Pitbull' as he came to be known during nearly a decade at the heart of the England rugby team's pack, established himself as one of the game's original hard men at a time when rugby was still an amateur sport. Since his retirement, he has earned a reputation as an equally uncompromising commentator, never afraid to tell it as he sees it & lash out at the money men & professionals that have made rugby into such a different beast.

Presenting an unparalleled insight into the mind of one of British rugby's greatest players & characters, Beware of the Dog is a uniquely engaging & upfront sporting memoir. Read by Brian Moore ...
