This is easily one of the best sporting bios I've read - if not the best. It tells an amazing tale of guts and determination to succeed against unbelievable odds, not least the prejudice of English football coaches against anything Australian. The episode where CJ overheard Jack Charlton tell someone to get rid of him would have just destroyed me. Not CJ - just inspired him to play so well it would unthinkable to send him home.
I must have read this half a dozen times and frequently quote from it or recommend it. Gets a little lost towards the end, otherwise would have been a definite 5 stars. Lets say 5 stars for the first three quarters and 3 stars for the last bit.
