Glenn Webbe: The Gloves Are Off (Review)

Everyone knows Glenn Webbe because he is a true sporting icon.  He’s a veteran of both the Welsh and international game and a real trendsetter.  He has a brilliant personality and a tremendous sense of humor.  It’s not a surprise that he is an amazing storyteller, which makes this book a no-brainer for any rugby supporter.  And Webbe is paired with the always brilliant Geraint Thomas, one of the top journalists in all of Wales.

Webbe is known for being the first black player to play for Wales and the first black British player to appear in a Rugby World Cup.  He shares some of his experiences through the lens of race, telling readers about the incidents that impacted his career and life.

This Cardiff native is all about loyalty as he was extremely loyal to both club and country.  He spent 14 seasons at Bridgend RFC, tallying over 250 tries in 404 matches.  These astonishing stats made him a fan favorite and one of the most lethal finishers in the history of the game.  He could have gone elsewhere, signing for big money.  But he didn’t and he became one of the club’s greatest players.

Webbe moved up the ladder one step at a time, reaching the highest levels of the game.  He became the best of the best by playing against the very best competition.  And he came from very humble beginnings and rose to absolute greatness.

YLolfa continues their tradition of producing excellent rugby titles with this memoir.  They always find the most entertaining subjects and the most engaging content.  And that is why this title is one of the top sporting titles of the year.
