"I'm in My Early Forties. There are Days When I Don't Remember the Names of My Wife and Four Kids . . ."

"So powerful. This book might just change the way you think about sport forever" ─Sir Clive Woodward, English rugby union footballer and coach

Winner of the Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year Award 2023

England won the 2003 Rugby World Cup. At the heart of this triumph was Steve Thompson, a formidable presence in England's front row, navigating the intense battles of the scrum. However, the euphoria of victory came at a staggering cost and today, Steve Thompson has no recollection of that momentous final. To him, watching the tape of that match is like peering into the life of a ghost. Steve has been diagnosed with early onset dementia, and serious progressive brain damage.

A testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Unforgettable is the story of unwavering hope and unyielding courage, woven together with raw, powerful storytelling. This poignant sports memoir features contributions from his fellow world-cup winning teammates and his former manager, Sir Clive Woodward. As Steve grapples with the unrelenting challenges of dementia, he not only confronts his own past but also becomes a symbol of endurance, demonstrating that strength transcends the limits of the rugby field.

Inside, learn what it's like:

  • Dealing with a life change and learning to navigate life with dementia
  • For rugby players to be pushing past the limit
  • Reevaluating what's important and navigating new family dynamics

If you have read other sports memoirs and biographies such as Open, Straight Shooter, or Choosing to Run, then Unforgettable is for you!

Steve Thompson

Steve Thompson MBE is a former Rugby Union player and 2003 Rugby World Cup winner. Once England's most capped hooker, Thompson has also played for the British & Irish Lions as well as playing almost 200 matches for the Northampton Saints. Tough and uncompromising, he made 73 appearances for his country across a ten-year period. The legacy of Steve's life in rugby should be a host of treasured memories. Instead, it is one of trying to recall the names of his wife and four young children. Being lost in a street he has walked down a hundred times. With decades ahead of him, Steve has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, the result of endless collisions, concussions, and injuries. He is now campaigning to improve the game and safeguard those who play it.
