Absolutely Huge

By Luke Upton

This hilarious spoof biography of fictional Welsh rugby player Gethin Huge' Hughes charts the highs and lows of his remarkable and controversial career both on and off the pitch, affectionately sending up Welsh rugby, culture and the media hype that surrounds it. After a stunning international debut and glory for club and country, by the age of 20 Huge is the biggest star in Welsh rugby. He's dating pop star Heledd Harte, the nation's sweetheart', and after one particularly heroic moment at Twickenham is voted Second Best Welshman Ever. But the good times don't last. He causes a diplomatic row on a Lions tour, makes some calamitous product endorsements, suffers World Cup heartbreak, and is voted the Second Worst Welshman Ever. Things don't improve after early retirement at 23. A disastrous reality TV appearance is followed by a brush with death on Mount Snowdon, entanglement in a political scandal and a very public break-up with Heledd. On the eve of his playing comeback, and for the first time, the full extraordinary story of his years in the spotlight and what happened afterwards will finally be told
