KEVIN SINFIELD

The Extra Mile is no ordinary sports memoir. But then Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary sportsman. A one-time legend of Leeds Rhinos who has now crossed codes as the England RFU defence coach, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years he has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and extraordinary fundraising for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow.

Sinfield's epic challenges have included running 7 marathons in 7 days, running over 101 miles in 24 hours, and running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days. In the process, Sinfield has captured the hearts of the nation and raised over £7 million for MND.

Told with Sinfield's characteristic warmth, dry wit and inspirational leadership, The Extra Mile is the story of an astonishing life, of an enduring friendship, of perseverance against the most difficult of challenges, and of a remarkable, humble human being who has defied the odds. Publishing in hardback by Century in May 2023, it is set to transcend sports publishing and become a future classic.
