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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eBeware of the Dog\u003c\/i\u003e Moore lays open with astounding frankness the shocking events, both personal and professional, that have gone towards shaping him over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Presenting an unparalleled insight into the mind of one of British rugby's greatest players and characters,\u003ci\u003e Beware of the Dog\u003c\/i\u003e is a uniquely engaging and upfront sporting memoir, and a deserved winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year prize.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137086832880,"sku":"9781849834896","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849834896_p0.jpg?v=1763753808","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849834896","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
