'Fascinating - a great read' - Miriam O'Callaghan


'Brilliant, absolutely terrific' - Matt Cooper

With a foreword by Richie Sadlier

From the heartbreak of losing his mother to breast cancer at just 12 years old, to battling mental health struggles throughout his teens, Andrew Porter's journey is one of extraordinary resilience. In this deeply personal and inspiring account, the Irish rugby star opens up about the challenges that shaped him - on and off the pitch.

With honesty and heart, Andrew shares how rugby became his lifeline, guiding him from the gym floor to the world stage. He reflects on the emotional highs and lows of his career, including earning 75 caps for Ireland, winning three Six Nations titles and becoming one of the sport's most respected figures. This is more than a story of athletic triumph - it's a testament to the power of perseverance, vulnerability, and the human spirit.

Andrew Porter is a professional rugby union player for Leinster and the Ireland national team. A cornerstone of Ireland's front row, he has represented his country in multiple Six Nations campaigns and was selected for the British & Irish Lions tours in both 2021 and 2025. He is currently on the British and Irish Lions tour. Known for his power and versatility, Porter helped Leinster secure the 2025 United Rugby Championship title. He lives in Dublin.
