==Off the Field== In 1999, Jenkins published his autobiography: ''Life at number 10: An Autobiography''<ref name=autobiography>Neil Jenkins, Paul Rees β Life at number 10: An Autobiography, published by Mainstream Publishing, 1998, {{ISBN|1-84018-245-8}}</ref> with freelance journalist [[Paul Rees]] just a matter of weeks before breaking the International points scoring record. The book was republished in 2001 by Mainstream Publishing. Also, on 10 November 2003 a DVD was released as a tribute, called ''Jenks β A Rugby Legend'', the DVD tells the story of Jenkins from his start as a working class boy in the Welsh Valleys to the pinnacle of rugby. In honour of Jenkins' Testimonial career, the famous [[Grogg]] Shop in Pontypridd made a "Limited Edition Testimonial Action" Grogg of Jenkins. Wanting to make something special for the occasion, the Grogg was the first ever to stand on just one leg and took over 6 months to create. Only 100 were made, all of which were hand-painted in a variety of rugby kits β only three of which were in the Lions jersey, one owned by Jenkins, one by his mother and the other by Mike Donald of Ebbw Vale who bought the Grogg at an auction for Β£4,100.<ref>[http://www.groggs.co.uk/feature_product] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221095321/http://www.groggs.co.uk/feature_product|date=21 February 2009}}</ref>
