In Speaking Up, former Border Reiver, Glasgow, Saracens and Scotland captain Kelly Brown looks back on his remarkable career, lifting the lid on his sixty-four caps with Scotland and his Premiership and European Cup triumphs with Saracens.
During a decorated nine-year international career with Scotland, Brown led his country on fourteen occasions, appeared in two World Cups and played a significant role in famous victories over England, Ireland, Wales, South Africa and Australia.
But Speaking Up is more than just a fascinating insight into Brown's time as a rugby player; it throws a light on his courageous battle to conquer a stammer that has afflicted him since childhood and often threatened to cripple both his self-confidence and sense of self-worth. It is a battle that he has faced with dignity, tenacity and humour, becoming an inspirational leader on and off the field, as a coach and as an after-dinner and motivational speaker.
