Beware of the Dog

Posted by febry on 10:40 AM

The cynics (and I admit I have been known to be somewhat cynical from time to time) will question the timing of Brian Moore's revelation that he suffered sexual abuse as a child and wonder whether it is an entire coincidence that he has a book to sell.


The admission is, nevertheless, hugely shocking - far more so than the public coming out of Gareth Thomas - and perhaps goes some way to explain Moore's infamous nastiness on the field of play, amongst other things.

Profit or no profit, going public with a such a revelation can't have been easy. "Brave" is an overused word but is entirely appropriate in the context of such a taboo subject matter.
