Ex-Ireland rugby star Willie Anderson on new book ‘Crossing The Line’

In an exclusive interview with Tommy Nethery ex-Ulster and Ireland rugby player Willie Anderson reflects on the highs and lows of an eventful career during which, by his own admission, he crossed the line more than the once.

This book is not just about rugby, it’s about life and the big Sixmilecross native, who once famously faced down the All Blacks haka as Ireland captain, tells it how it was.

From finding himself in some dark places while in prison in Argentina for removing the national flag to winning nine in a row with Ulster, from being involved in a fatal road accident to guiding Dungannon RFC to All Ireland glory and being turned down by Ulster to success at provincial and international level as a coach, Anderson doesn’t hold back. His is a fascinating and compelling tale.
