John Eales: The BiographyJohn Eales is Australia's finest rugby player. This biography traces his life from the classic Australian childhood in the surburbs of Brisbane to the glory of captaining the World Cup-winning Wallabies - and shows that this road to sporting greatness has had many twists and turns. When Eales was just starting out, he was so severely injured that he would never play rugby again. Forced to sell programs and tickets on tours to make ends meet, less than four years later he had to choose between two million-dollar contracts. In 1997, he suffered the humiliation of calls for his dismissal - yet the following year he was hailed as the greatest rugby skipper in the world. |
