Publisher's Summary

My Name'5 Doddie is a humbling, courageous and very funny celebration of a remarkable man. The extraordinary, life-affirming autobiography of Doddie Weir is an absolute must-listen – rugby fan or not.

Rugby legend and MND campaigner Doddie Weir has always lived life to the full. On the pitch, Doddie's irresistible talent took him to the heart of every team he graced and brought him 61 caps for Scotland. He won fans all over the world with his sportsmanship, humour and boundless energy. Then, in June 2017, Doddie made the announcement that he had been diagnosed with MND. With no cure and almost no treatment of any sort available, Doddie set out to do what he could to change that, tackling the issue head on with his trademark positivity and good humour. Since then, the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation has raised and pledged millions towards research into this dreadful condition and his tireless campaigning has transcended the world of sport.

Wonderful story! Inspiring and heartwarming❤️

This is exactly what I needed in these covid times. A real life tale, lyrically told. Perseverance and character, coupled with humor and humanity. Doddie’s compellingly journey is delivered with heart by the inimitable Andrew Cotter.
My favorite listen this year. Highly recommend!

Amazing!

I had the honour of meeting Doddie when he played for the Falcons and he was a great character, which shines through in this book. What a true inspiration he is. My wife sadly lost her friend to this awful illness and anything that can be done to find a treaty or even better a cure is worth supporting. Andrew Cotter’s narration is one of the best I’ve heard on any audio book

A wonderful story of a great man

I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I enjoyed listening to this narration of a very humble giant of a man who was immense in rugby, and a hero in his fight against MND and his charitable endeavours. Appreciate life more by listening to this brave, funny, humble down to earth hero.

Very funny and sad at the same time.

Excellently narrated by Andrew Cotter. Doddie, hope you’re still fighting it for years to come and help find a treatment for MND

Funny, touching, honest and inspirational

A really fantastic book, beautifully read by Andrew Cotter. Honest, moving and raw at times, but laugh out loud funny at others.
It doesn’t matter if you follow rugby or not, this book is about so much more. Excellent.

Great read !

I really enjoyed reading this book. I met Doddie and the rest of the Scottish team about 25+ years ago in Western Samoa when they were on a rugby tour. The book was very easy to listen to, especially with the strong scottish accent of the narrator. It is very sad to here that he has MND, but his positive mindset seems to be getting him through it at this point.
