- Book Synopsis
-
The electrifying story of a rugby icon who changed the game - and the face of Irish sport. From the streets of Cork to the grand stages of Thomond Park, the Stade Yves-duManoir and beyond, Simon Zebo's journey is one of flair, fire and fearless individuality.
In this candid and captivating memoir, Zebo opens up about his life, from his record-breaking feats with Munster and Ireland to his trailblazing role as the first black man to wear the green jersey. With trademark wit and warmth, Zebo reflects on the highs and lows of a career that spanned continents, including his unforgettable stint with Racing 92, his Lions tour memories, the moments that made him a fan favourite, and his insightful, exuberant punditry.
Co-written with acclaimed rugby journalist Gerry Thornley, Zeebs is more than a sports memoir: it's a celebration of self-expression, resilience and the joy of playing the game your way.

- Follow Zebo’s Munster, Ireland and Racing 92 career told with affection.
- Return to sports autobiographies with warmth, humour and behind-the-scenes honesty.
