Australian Rules Football - Mark Courtney's world ended in October, when the Rabbitohs were excluded from the NRL. In his despair he wrote this remarkable saga of childhood, teenage and adult life, and his clubs mortal struggle against corporate greed. His is the story of every sports fan. Souths are his passion, but their tragedy and unquenchable hope resonate in Fitzroy, North Sydney, and wherever heartless exploitation attacks fairness and the traditions we love. This book went on to be used as evidence in the subsequent court case - testimony to the love a man can have for a footy team.
