Description
Throwing the Book is a candid and humble memoir that lifts the lid on a lifetime of refereeing the biggest names in rugby and navigating the complexities of the law. With a unique blend of serious insight and good humour, Wayne Barnes shares his remarkable story, from his childhood days to his career highs and lows, and what's next in store for him both on and off the pitch.
As a working-class lad from the Forest of Dean, Wayne's journey to becoming one of the most-experienced international referees in history is a testament to his dedication and perseverance. With a deep love for the sport, he shares his experiences of being yards away from the greatest players, listening to the sobs of a prop, and being on the pitch during some of the biggest matches in rugby history.
Throwing the Book is a rich and engaging account that reveals the man behind the referee, offering a fresh perspective on the world of rugby and the law. With its warm and engaging tone, this memoir is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the sport or the complexities of the human experience.
