Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

“Dafydd James’ story is a powerful reminder that we are never finished – that we are far bigger than who we think we are, and that anything is possible if we are courageous enough and willing enough to keep stepping forward into our vulnerability and into the unknown.” Jonny Wilkinson, from the Foreword “An outstanding rugby player. We’d try and get the ball in his hands as often as possible, as we knew he could score tries if he had a fraction of space.” Neil Jenkins “An intelligent and thoughtful guy with a lovely self-deprecating humour that makes for delightful company. He has addressed the struggles he has endured in his life with great honesty and fortitude which speaks volumes for Dafydd as a person. I’m proud to know him.” Phil Steele
