I would like to thank John Woodhouse for making what could have been so difficult so comfortable. I would never have written this book if he hadn’t made me feel so at ease. We bonded over a bad fishfinger sandwich, became mates, and took it from there.

Steve Thompson

England Rugby World Cup winner

I trust my ghostwriter John Woodhouse implicitly. We’ve spent a huge amount of time together and I’ve bared my soul. I’ve seen John try to become me in the same way I would when playing a character.
