The Legendary Frank Hyde and His Stories.
Frank Hyde is rugby league's most famous commentator and best-loved character. If Alan McGilvray's voice was the sound of the Australian summer, Frank's was unquestionably the sound of winter. From his battling childhood in The Rocks to outstanding player, referee, coach, administrator, pop star and finally top-rating 2SM broadcaster for over 30 years, at 79 Frank looks back with characteristic wit and warmth on his extraordinarily colourful life.
In this book, the king of the commentators entertains with outrageous stories from his supporters' world tours, names the four players he believes are the new Immortals and profiles great league personalities such as Johnny Raper and Ron Casey. Frank also gives his views on the Super League and the future of the game, tells tales from the commentary box, relives Norths' last grand final (in 1943!) and offers a no-holds-barred look at rugby league's stars of the 1990s. 'Straight Between The Posts' is a tribute to a remarkable life.
Contains 32 pages of black and white photographs.
