Book Synopsis The Nearly Men of Rugby League by : Tom Mather
Download or read book The Nearly Men of Rugby League written by Tom Mather and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the sporting life of fifteen Australian Rugby League players who almost reached the pinnacle of their sporting career. Sadly, for many reasons, they were to fall at the final hurdle. The book also gives fascinating insights into the players’ lives off the field—one player gaining the second-highest military honour during World War I and another dying while en route to England to represent his country. One player was to lose his life in the most bizarre and mysterious circumstances while another remains somewhat of a mystery even to this day. Whilst essentially a book about Rugby League players, it is also a book about the extraordinary lives of sportsmen.
Download or read book Ella written by Bret Harris and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive authorised biography of a rugby legend. This new biography of Mark Ella traces the inspirational life of one of Australia's greatest sporting champions from the squalor of an Aboriginal community in Sydney's La Perouse to international fame as a Wallaby and one of the best players ever to play rugby union. Mark was raised among 12 children in a tumbledown shack and he attributes his extraordinary success to the influence of his parents, his family, and enlightened teachers and coaches who nurtured his amazing talent. Along with twin brother Glen and younger brother Gary, Mark virtually re-invented the game of rugby, playing an exciting brand of running rugby that thrilled crowds around the world. The magical Ella brothers first became front page news when they starred on the 1977/78 Australian Schoolboys' undefeated tour of Japan and Europe. The "Invincibles" featured future Wallabies Michael Hawker, Tony Melrose, Chris Roche and Tony D'Arcy, dual international Michael O'Connor and rugby league legend Wally Lewis, who later described Mark as the best player he ever played with or against. The Ellas joined the famous Randwick club in Sydney and played a key role in the Galloping Greens winning five consecutive premierships from 1978 to 1982. During this time all three Ellas graduated to representative rugby, playing for Sydney, NSW Waratahs and the Wallabies with Mark becoming Test captain in 1982. Mark was undoubtedly the star of the trio and earned 25 Test caps in a six-year international career from 1979 to 1984. But when Alan Jones replaced Bob Dwyer as Wallabies coach in 1984 Mark lost the captaincy to Queenslander Andrew Slack. While he was no longer captain, Mark was the dominant influence on the Wallabies' historic Grand Slam tour of the UK and Ireland, scoring a try in each of the four Tests against England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Mark then stunned the world of rugby by retiring at just 25 years of age, citing Jones as one of the reasons. He also turned down an offer from St George Dragons, which would have made him the highest paid player in the rival rugby league code. Since retiring Mark has continued to succeed off the field in coaching, administration, business and as a highly respected rugby columnist. He also married his childhood sweetheart Kim and started his own family. In 1988 Mark, a talented cricketer in his schooldays, was the manager of the Aboriginal cricket team's tour of England, which commemorated the historic 1868 Aboriginal tour. A brief comeback with Randwick in 1989 led to an enquiry by restored Wallabies coach Bob Dwyer as to whether Mark wanted to return to Test rugby. Instead, Mark played at Milan in 1989 with his former Wallabies team-mate and kindred spirit David Campese and then coached the team for three years, winning two Italian national championships. In 1995, the year rugby union went professional and the Wallabies failed to defend the World Cup in South Africa, Mark received the great honour of being among the inaugural fifteen players inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame, confirming his status as one of the all time greats of the game. He was later one of the first five players inducted into the Australian Hall of Fame. Mark's main involvement with rugby over the last years has been as a columnist with The Australian newspaper. Mark has strong opinions on how the game is played and administered and has controversial views about star players and coaches.

Book Synopsis Great Australian Sporting Stories by : Ian Heads
Download or read book Great Australian Sporting Stories written by Ian Heads and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Heads and Tasker, legends themselves, set out to write a book that would continue the trail laid by early-days sporting scribes of long ago. I could not put it down.' John Coates AC, President of the Australian Olympic Committee 'I know readers will enjoy the many stories and anecdotes that Heads and Tasker have accumulated over more than a century combined in journalism.' Ian Chappell, former Australian cricket Captain. Australia enjoys a rich sporting heritage. Our small population has yielded a disproportionate number of champions. These sports stars have become known worldwide as fierce combatants and honourable competitors, achieving soaring victories, but also heart-pounding near-wins and humbling defeats. Veteran Australian sports journalists Ian Heads and Norman Tasker have seen it all. In these 65 original stories, we hear of the explosive introduction of World Series Cricket in 1977, which turned a genteel endeavour into a high-octane contest, and the clash of the titans as Packer and Murdoch squared off over the Super League war. We see Rugby Union become a battleground for race and the Olympics an arena for sublime acts of courage and achievement. We get an insider's perspective on every kind of sporting endeavour - from boxing to tennis, cricket to AFL, athletics to rugby league - and not just the action on the field, but the change room gossip and clubhouse politics as well. Written with wit, insight and a wealth of knowledge, Great Australian Sporting Stories is an enthralling expedition into the combative, collegiate, entertaining and always exciting world of Australian sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dally Messenger, Ken Catchpole, Dick Thornett, David Campese, John Eales, Nick Farr-Jones, Cyril Towers, Mark Ella, George Smith, Dave Brockhoff, Andrew Slack, Ray Price, John Hipwell, Jason Little, Phil Kearns, Will Genia... Herbert 'Paddy' Moran was mesmerised by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. He was also the first captain of a strange, disparate bunch who called themselves the Wallabies. One hundred years on, the Wallabies of today are as outlandish, cocksure and eccentric as their forebears. It is the spirit and soul of this group of remarkable sportsmen that is captured in Inside the Wallabies. This is the real story of the Wallabies from their first games in 1908 to today. It is about the players, the coaches, the politics and the games. It is about the soaring highs of World Cup success and the years when they truly deserved the moniker of Woeful Wallabies. It is about going on Tour, about enmities and friendships, about moments of national elation and player shame. As fast paced as a Mark Ella backline play, as solid as Phil Kearns' front row and as controversial as a Robbie Deans selection, Inside the Wallabies is a fascinating, passionate and insightful history of the world of the Australian Rugby Union. It is a book no rugby fan can be without.
