From the signing of 'The King', Wayne Carey for a song, to the football legend's wife who proposed via a fax machine, Favourite Footy Yarns will inform, amuse and delight. The smorgasboard of tall and mostly true stories is the latest from Australian sport's master storyteller Ken Piesse and includes all the biggest names in the game from Barassi and Whitten to Roos, Dermie and Buddy. Ken's favourite interviews, memories and moments are spiced with an array of bloopers, gaffes and pranks. Foreword by St Kilda legend Robert Harvey. Cartoons by Harv (Paul Harvey). Handsome hardback, jam-packed with footy goodness and delectably entertaining anecdotes. Ken Piesse has achieved legendary status in the field of cricket and footy, having written almost 50 books. Ken is a three-time winner of the Cricket Victoria's Major Media Award, including 2015 for 'Cricket's Cinderella Story'.
