Gavin Wanganeen is one of AFL football's superstars. At the age of twenty-five, this supremely gifted footballer has already achieved more than most other great players achieve in their entire career - a Brownlow Medal, playing in premiership-winning sides and captaining a new team in their debut AFL season.
In 'Wanganeen - The Power To Win', Gavin tells the story so far - from his earliest childhood memories of kicking a ball around in the backyard, to playing with the SANFL's Port Adelaide Magpies as a sixteen-year-old schoolboy, to his six fantastic years with Essendon, and, of course, the return home to captain Port Adelaide Power in their extraordinary debut AFL season. It is filled with fascinating insights into both Gavin and the game he loves - leading an AFL team in their first year of competition, the difficulties and rewards of being an Aboriginal footballer, and the heartache of leaving one club he loved to captain another.
Packed with stories, anecdotes, playing tips and impressions of some of the game's greatest players, 'Wanganeen - The Power To Win' is a book for all Aussie Rules fans.
