The bestselling biography of Australia's finest rugby player, and one of our most popular sporting heroes, in a small format paperback.
This bestselling biography of John Eales traces his life from a classic Australian childhood in the suburbs of Brisbane to the glory of captaining the World Cup-winning Wallabies, and shows that his road to sporting greatness has many twists and turns.
Written with all the passion and colour of a true insider, Sydney Morning Herald journalist and former Wallaby Peter Fitzsimons interviewed Eales's family and friends, colleagues and team-mates, as well as the man himself. This book reveals a man whose outstanding qualities extend much further than his exceptional skill on the football field.
