Since A scorching and deeply personal autobiography lifting the lid on the life and character of one of English rugbys most successful ever playersBrian Moore, or Pitbull as he came to be known during nearly a decade at the heart of the England rugby teams pack, established himself as one of the games 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 and lash out at the money men and professionals that have made rugby into such a different beast. Yet, for all his bullishness on and off the pitch, there also appears a more unconventional, complicated side to the man. A solicitor by trade, Moores love of fine wine, career experience as a manicurist, and preference for reading Shakespeare in the dressing room before games, mark him out as anything but the stereotypical rugby player, and in Beware of the Dog, Moore lays open with astounding frankness the shocking events, both personal and professional, that have gone towards shaping him over the years. Presenting an unparalleled insight into the mind of one of British rugbys greatest players and characters, Beware of the Dog is a uniquely engaging and upfront sporting memoir.
