Carey is considered one of the greatest players of his era, and widely regarded as one of the best key forward position players of all time. He also achieved notoriety off-field for his infidelity, and for alcohol and drug addictions. This book covers his life story from a troubled upbringing in Wagga Wagga to his playing days as a premiership captain for North Melbourne, and continues to when his personal life attracted more attention than his football. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In the world of Australian football, no-one has been more notorious than Wayne Carey. Once hailed as The King, and widely acclaimed as one of the greatest footballers of his generation, Carey fell from the highest pinnacle of the game to the lowest of lows. From his brutal upbringing in Wagga Wagga to his early teen years where he discovered his love of, and talent for, football, Wayne's candid story of his early life reveals much about the man who has dominated headlines for more than a decade - first for his brilliance on the field, but more often for his troubled personal life.Covering the highs of his glory days at North Melbourne to his public downfall after his affair with his vice-captain's wife, Carey's memoir is extraordinarily honest. It is self-searching and searing in its examination of his own behaviour and its effects on those around him. His departure from North Melbourne marked the end of King Carey, and the beginning of a decline that was to see him bailed up in jail in both the US and Australia. His life became a train wreck, as he lurched from one disastrous incident to the next - from his serial infidelity to massive alcohol binges and a growing cocaine addiction - each played out on the front page of every newspaper in the country. This is the story of how a man can reach rock bottom, but begin to haul himself up again. The truth sets you free - but it can hurt. This is without doubt the most powerful sporting memoir ever published in Australia. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
