{"product_id":"9781780577562","title":"Life At Number 10: An Autobiography","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeil Jenkins is the most prolific goal-kicker in the history of British  international rugby. A match-winner with Pontypridd and Wales, a veteran  of the Lions Tours – including the 2001 Tour of Australia – his  crowning moment came with the Lions in South Africa in 1997 when his  unerring accuracy with the boot earned the tourists only their second  series victory against the Springboks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCapped by Wales when he  was just 19, Jenkins helped to turn Pontypridd from the Cinderellas of  Welsh rugby into the league champions and one of the most feared teams  in the country. After just 28 internationals he broke the Welsh  points-scoring record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1998, \u003ci\u003eLife at Numer 10\u003c\/i\u003e  is a fascinating account of how Jenkins, a boy from the tip of the  Rhondda Valley, started his working life as a scrap merchant – only to  become one of the most sought-after players in Britain and the  most-capped player for Wales. He tells how the pressure of being the  Wales outside-half, following in the footsteps of legends such as Cliff  Morgan, David Watkins, Barry John, Phil Bennett and Jonathon Davies,  took its toll; and his frustration at being moved by Wales to centre  full-back. He reveals the secrets behind Pontypridd's rise to  prominence, the reasons why he left them in 1999 to join Cardiff, and  his fears for the future of the Welsh game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mainstream Publishing Company, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300740382960,"sku":"9781780577562","price":11.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780577562_p0.jpg?v=1763714038","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780577562","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
