About this title

Synopsis

There are few names in Australian sport as instantly recognisable and revered as that of Ronald Dale Barassi. Now, for the first time, the most famous name in football has opened up the numerous scrapbooks kept about his very public life - a number of them collected and maintained by his beloved mother, Elza, and others by staunch supporters over more than five decades. These scrapbooks magnificently tell his story, the story of football, and the story of Australian society through the decades. Featuring comments from Ron throughout, he is still as relevant now as he has ever been. Barassi is not just an icon of Australian sport. At 72, he is a national living treasure.
