Steve Thompson was in England's front row, at the heart of the match, and at the heart of the scrum - one of sport's most violent battlegrounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But triumph came at a cost. Today, he remembers nothing about playing in that final. In his words, watching the tape back is like watching a ghost. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The years of hurt, and the culture of sucking up punishment and coming back for more, have taken a terrible toll. Steve has been diagnosed with early onset dementia, and serious progressive brain damage. Steve and his wife Steph had a happy family life planned, with decades ahead of them. Now he needs to capture these elusive memories for the sake of his children, before they disappear forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With stories contributed by his world-cup winning teammates and his former manager, Sir Clive Woodward, \u003ci\u003eUnforgettable\u003c\/i\u003e is raw, powerful storytelling. This tale of hope and courage stands as testament to the ultimate strength of the human mind - and to a man no longer pushing himself to the limit for competition, but for his own place in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40830312939617,"sku":"9781788705943","price":8.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36337250.jpg?v=1759409260","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781788705943-unforgettable","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
