The Rugby League miracle at St George 1956 - 66- and the lives of the great saints since.
Lured by the siren song of a great and glamorous sporting team, Larry Writer first watched the St George Dragons play football on a spring day in 1962. That afternoon the all-conquering Saints won their seventh consecutive rugby league premiership. Captivated by the aura of this superteam, Writer, then aged 12, was hooked. St George went on to claim four more titles for an incredible winning streak of 11 successive premierships - an achievement unmatched in world sport.
This is the story of how St George accomplished a sporting miracle. It is also the author's intensely personal reflections on the men who made it happen. Delving back into those 11 years and into the lives of the great Saints, then and now, Writer has produced the finest study ever of sporting success in Australia.
A brilliant portrayal of larger than life heroes, this book will not only stir the imagination of those who remember the glory days, it will capture the attention of anyone who has wondered what it is like to experience extraordinary success.
