Irish rugby star Brian O’Driscoll has been signed by Penguin Ireland to write his autobiography.
The Grand Slam-winning captain, who has also won two Heineken Cup medals with Leinster, will write the book in conjunction with award-winning journalist, Paul Kimmage.
During his professional career, O’Driscoll has won 123 Test caps (117 for Ireland and 6 for the British and Irish Lions) and has captained Ireland, Leinster and the Lions. Apart from leading Ireland to the only second ever Grand Slam, he was also captain for four Triple Crown triumphs and scored 46 international tries, the highest of all time in Irish rugby.
O'Driscoll was chosen as Player of the Tournament in the 2006, 2007 and 2009 RBS Six Nations Championships and in January 2010 was voted World Rugby player of the decade (2000-2009) by the influential Rugby World magazine.
His book will chart his highs and lows throughout his amazing career and will give insight into the man behind the number 13 jersey. O’Driscoll said: "I really look forward to working with Paul and the team at Penguin Ireland. It is an exciting new challenge and one that I relish."
