There are days when I don't remember the names of my wife and four kids . . .'</b><br><br><b>RUGBY, DEMENTIA AND THE FIGHT OF MY LIFE<br></b><br>In 2003, England won the Rugby World Cup. Steve Thompson was in England's front row, at the heart of the match, and at the heart of the scrum - one of sport's most violent battlegrounds.<br><br> But triumph came at a cost.

Today, he remembers nothing about playing in that final. In his words, watching the tape back is like watching a ghost. <br><br> The years of hurt, and the culture of sucking up punishment and coming back for more, have taken a terrible toll. Steve has been diagnosed with early onset dementia, and serious progressive brain damage.

Steve and his wife Steph had a happy family life planned, with decades ahead of them. Now he needs to capture these elusive memories for the sake of his children, before they disappear forever. <br><br> With stories contributed by his world-cup winning teammates and his former manager, Sir Clive Woodward, <i>Unforgettable</i> is raw, powerful storytelling.

This tale of hope and courage stands as testament to the ultimate strength of the human mind - and to a man no longer pushing himself to the limit for competition, but for his own place in the world.</p>
