Description: From the moment he pulled on the black and white, Darcy Moore's path seemed written in Collingwood folklore — but the journey from favoured son to premiership captain was anything but assured. This intimate portrait traces his rise through junior ranks, the search for his place on the field, and the evolution of a defender whose contested marking became the stuff of highlight reels. Exploring the burdens of captaincy, the toll of a footballer's body, and the weight of family legacy, it captures both the athlete and the man behind one of the AFL's most watched careers. A compelling read for any lover of Aussie Rules and the enduring magic of the Magpies.
