PLUGGER - THE TONY LOCKETT STORY - 1992 - PIESSE

Tony Lockett's meteoric rise from shy country kid to the most awesome and magnetic footballer in the game is a compelling story of rare determination and skill.

At fifteen 'Plugger' was playing open-age football in country Victoria.  At seventeen he had debuted for St Kilda.  At twenty-one he had become the first full-forward ever to win a Brownlow Medal, the AFL's most prestigious award for individual achievement.

Battling asthma and chronic groin injury, Tony Locket was one of the game's most explosive and controversial players.  In 1991, Tony smashed records set by the game's most illustrious goalsneaks when he kicked ten or more goals in a record breaking six matches - an extraordinary feat which lifted St Kilda to its first final in almost two decades.

This book is Tony's extraordinary story told in his own words.  From his debut in Little League to his John Coleman Medals, from his ten favourite players to his funniest moments, this is a candid and intimate look at one of Australia's greatest sporting heroes.
