Synopsis: In this revised and updated edition, Lockeyer takes the reader to the end of his much lauded and glittering career and into his life beyond footy. Seventeen years were spent putting his body through hell in perhaps the toughest football competition on the planet. Lockyer has, quite literally, spent half his lifetime in the NRL. For the first time, Lockyer opens up on the people, places, incidents and events that have shaped the life and career of an Australian sporting icon. From his days growing up and working at the family-owned truck stop on the outskirts of the tiny Queensland town of Wandoan, to his arrival at the Broncos as a teenage sensation and subsequent ascension toward rugby league immortality the book will shed new light on some of the biggest names and stories of the past two decades. Contributions from Lockyer’s family and friends, as well as legendary NRL figures provide a rare insight into their view on Lockyer the player, the leader and the man.
