Along the way he was caught up in a club's shift to Sydney, and returned finally to Melbourne to play with one of the league's greatest clubs, Carlton, and make a big contribution to the Blues' 1987 Premiership.
In a controversial career, he appeared at the AFL Tribunal a record twenty-five times as the accused, as well as sixteen as a witness. This is covered in detail in the book, as are several celebrated incidents he was involved in.
