EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

An honest end of career autobiography from widely adored Harlequins and England rugby star Danny Care They say everything happens for a reason and I think my life is proof of that There have been a series of moments some of them tough setbacks that have proved over time to be pivotal to the person and player I am today There was the time when my dreams of a football career came to an abrupt end but opened the door for rugby in my life the ill judged sledging outing that may have cost me the opportunity to go on a Lions tour the times when my name made the headlines for the wrong reasons the choice I made to miss an England tour which led to meeting the love of my life on a party island halfway across the world and the devastating moment when Eddie Jones dropped me from the England squad and I thought my international career was over I sometimes wondered if it was meant to be but I kept on smiling and I worked hard as I kept my focus on playing the game that I love that I owe everything to And now a little older and a little wiser and with over 100 England caps three Six Nations championships and two Premiership titles to my name I want to tell you my story The highs and lows the good and the bad and everything in between
