The life of Johnny 'Chook' Raper, rugby league's Man in the Bowler Hat, teems with incident. A sportsman of prodigious talent, Raper set out as a teenager to attack life in the same way he played his football - at full throttle.

Raper's impact on Australia from the late 1950s onwards stretched way past the boundaries of the playing field. Raper became, and remains, one of society's most colourful characters.

This is a tale that soars to the heights of wondrous sporting days, then plumbs the depths - as the tells of his fight with cancer, and his battle to beat a police charge that threatened to sully his reputation for ever. The book is about the way sportsmen used to be - colourful, iconoclastic, sometimes outrageous. Chook Raper wins the gold medal on all counts. This is his story.

Contains black and white photographs.
