Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. I know from personal experience what some people may be going through, those who might be struggling coming to terms with their sexuality in the way I once did. As for his biggest rugby regret, that didn't come in one of the many high-profile matches Owens took charge of, but actually in a Welsh Schools under-18s game when he sent off a Gowerton youngster when matters got out of hand between the teams.

That moment made sure he "refereed every game afterwards as if it was a World Cup final," whatever the level.

Owens says he was too blase about the match, turned up with the wrong attitude and what happened was his fault, not the young player's.

Together they are exploring the route to adopting children, a process in tandem with building a new home together. He says: "Quite a few years later I was in Swansea’s Wind Street when a guy approached me out of the blue and said he was the player I'd sent off in that game.

But not only did he survive his suicide attempt but positively thrived, officiating at four World Cups, taking charge of more Six Nations games than anyone else, blowing the whistle at seven European Cup Finals and presiding over some of the best games of rugby ever played, such as the high-octane try-fest that was the New Zealand victory over South Africa in Johannesburg in 2013.

He was named UK Sports Journalist of the Year, Welsh Sports Journalist of the Year and Welsh Hall of Fame Sports Journalist. Suddenly, a couple of policemen appeared, wearing those pointed helmets, and started racing after him. One of those came at Twickenham during an England versus New Zealand game in 2014, when a supporter wrote to The Guardian newspaper to complain about the horrific comments he heard being directed at Owens.

Nigel Owens: The Final Whistle" stands as the rugby book of the year, offering a gripping and inspirational account of an extraordinary individual. As such I can't thank enough those in the game who have been so supportive down the years, from players to coaches, to officials, to fans, to my employers at the Welsh Rugby Union.

As someone who enjoys rugby I was interested in this book and Nigels career as an international professional rugby referee.
