Long before Ronald Dale Barassi played his first match of league football, he'd already made a significant impact on the game. At the age of five his soldier father was killed at Tobruk, and so great was the footy fraternity's respect for the Barassi family, that several years later the father/son rule was introduced.

Innovative, creative, visionary, and ferociously tenacious, Ron's achievements are legendary. As a champion player he is credited with having all but invented the position of ruck rover and as a premiership coach he is said to have revolutionised the use of handball. He was also one of the first (and certainly one of the loudest) to push for fully nationalising the game. But as integral as Ron Barassi is to football, he is quick to point out that 'It was never my Life'.

Now for the first time Barassi tells his story - the whole story - in his own words. Barassi goes behind the legend to reveal the devoted family man, the dabbler in the arts, the champion for disadvantaged kids, and the tale of a fatherless boy who was determined to make his own way in the world. Barassi is a wonderfully warm, astonishingly self-deprecating, and deeply personal portrait of an Australian sporting legend.
