read this in Jakarta , with no background as to AFL

a heart wrenching read

would commend it to everyone with a pulse

I am privileged to have read it

the true story of a spectacular sportsman , cut down in his prime by physical infirmity , and his, his family's and friends' struggle with the aftermath

well worth reading as the writing was by a brother who was not gifted in the sporting sense ( so a great contrast ) but one of Australia's great writers ( in my humble opinion)… (altro)
