From the Publisher:

The most successful skipper in Super League and with an international career encompassing 25 caps, Chris Joynt tells his story from growing up in Wigan through his early career with Oldham then joining sleeping giants St Helens and captaining the team to a phenomenal string of successes - Challenge Cup, Grand Final and World Club Championship - and making the team probably the most feared in rugby league!
Written with sports journalist Mike Critchley, Chris tells his story in a down-to-earth style including the highs and lows at Knowsley Road, behind the scenes wrangling when he joined Newcastle Knights down under for the summer, playing for Ireland in the 2000 World Cup and clashes with Australia for Great Britain.
One of the toughest yet most level headed characters in the game, Chris gives praise to team-mates,
opponents and coaches where due but he isn't afraid to pull the punches on failings in rugby league or voice his solutions.
