Irish rugby icon Simon Zebo to release memoir

ZEEBS is the electrifying story of a Munster, Ireland and Lions icon who changed the game - and the face of Irish sport.

From the streets of Cork to the grand stages of Thomond Park, the Stade Yves-du-Manoir and beyond, Simon Zebo's journey is one of flair, fire and fearless individuality. In this candid and captivating memoir, Zebo opens up about his life, from his record-breaking feats with Munster and Ireland to his trailblazing role as the first black man to wear the green jersey.

With trademark wit and warmth, Zebo reflects on the highs and lows of a career that spanned continents, including his unforgettable stint with Racing 92, his Lions tour memories, the moments that made him a fan favourite, and his insightful, exuberant punditry.

Co-written with acclaimed rugby journalist Gerry Thornley, ZEEBS is more than a sports memoir: it's a celebration of self-expression, resilience and the joy of playing the game your way.

Simon Zebo said: ‘I’m delighted to be bringing my story to the page. Most people know the fun side of me from my playing and punditry, but there’s a lot of things in this book that I haven’t spoken about before, and I’m very excited for people to read it.’

Deirdre Nolan, publishing director said: ‘Simon Zebo was thrilling to watch as a player, and is brilliant as a pundit, and this book displays his intelligence, charisma and charm like nothing else.’
