Irish sport.
From the streets of Cork to the grand stages of Thomond Park, the Stade Yves-du
Manoir and beyond, Simon Zebo''s journey is one of flair, fire and fearless
individuality. In this candid and captivating memoir, Zebo opens up about his life,
from his record-breaking feats with Munster and Ireland to his trailblazing role as
the first black man to wear the green jersey.
With trademark wit and warmth, Zebo reflects on the highs and lows of a career
that spanned continents, including his unforgettable stint with Racing 92, his Lions
tour memories, the moments that made him a fan favourite, and his insightful,
exuberant punditry.
Co-written with acclaimed rugby journalist Gerry Thornley, Zeebs is more than a
sports memoir: it''s a celebration of self-expression, resilience and the joy of playing
the game your way.
