Publishers Description: Shane Webcke is rugby leagues premier front-row forward of the modern era. Veteran of 20 Test matches for Australia, 21 State of Origin games and 227 first-grade games for his club (to the end of 2005) he has been a pillar of the Brisbane Broncos side for more than a decade. But Webcke is a whole lot more than just a footballer. Family man, philosopher, farmer, articulate spokesman for his club and the game, avid reader, leader, budding media star and shrewd businessman, he could fairly be labelled footballs "Renaissance Man". His memoirs are powerful and thought-provoking, as he talks openly about his tough early life and the tragic death of his father in a work accident - a searing event that shaped his life as a man and a football player.
