Summary

Brian Moore, or 'Pitbull' as he came to be known during nearly a decade at the heart of the England rugby team's pack, established himself as one of the game's 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, Moore's 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 rugby's greatest players and characters, Beware of the Dogis a uniquely engaging and upfront sporting memoir.

If you could sum up Beware of the Dog in three words, what would they be?

Interesting but short

What did you like best about this story?

Brian played with his heart on his sleeve, and this autobiography is the same. We know he was a hard nosed competitor who practiced law on the side but this goes further.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I nodded along, understanding what he went through and relating to some parts. It's a human voiced version of accounts of someone who has lived a life, understands what they did, understands regrets wont change anything but he can change the future.

Any additional comments?

As a rugby fan I immensely enjoyed this, but it was far too short to cram his life into just 2 hours. Other biographies of much younger people i.e. a 31 yr old comedian auto-bio I'm currently listening too, is non-abridged and 11 hrs 40. I would have loved to hear more rugby stories, rugby politics as well as his life and on.
