Description: From the football-mad paddocks of Gippsland to the hallowed turf of Princes Park, this is the remarkable story of Charlie Curnow, the Carlton spearhead whose journey to back-to-back Coleman Medals was anything but straightforward. Charting his early promise, the devastating injuries that threatened to derail his career, and the painstaking rebuild that followed, this book offers an in-depth look at one of the AFL's most compelling comeback tales. Along the way, it examines Curnow's role as the blueprint for the modern power forward, his place within Carlton's resurgence, and the numbers behind his dominance. Essential reading for Blues faithful and footy fans alike.
