About this ebook
When Wales beat France to clinch the 2012 Six Nations Championship Grand Slam - one player stood out from the rest of the field. A powerful presence on the pitch, Dan Lydiate, the 6ft 4in fearless farmer's son from Llandrindod Wells truly deserved the title Player of the Tournament. In Grand Slam Man, the heroic Welsh flanker reflects on his comeback from a broken neck in 2008 to become the hero of Wales's 2012 Grand Slam success. He also reveals his thoughts on the Australia tour, his love of tackling, his life on the farm and his British Lions dream.

Welsh flankerDan Lydiate grew up on his family’s farm near Llandrindod Wells. A product of the Newport Gwent Dragons Academy, as a teenager he was an important member of the Wales Under 20 back row, later progressing to the Dragons’ senior side. Then in 2008 he suffered a serious neck injury in the Dragons’ Heineken Cup Group match at Perpignan, which threatened his playing career. A year later he made his debut for Wales in 2009 and quickly established himself as a key member in Wales quarter final World Cup. In 2012 he was named Player of the Tournament after Wales won the Grand Slam in the 2012 Six Nations Championship.
