Harrigan : The Referee in a League of His Own

New, updated version of Bill Harrigan's popular biography. Includes the real story behind his retirement and Bill's plans for the future, as well as his thoughts on the future of the game. As Australia's leading Rugby League referee, Harrigan has a profile equal to the major players. He has refereed a record number of grand finals and State of Origins, and has seen the game's best players up close - often in his face. His determination and commitment to be the best is second to none. But there is more to Bill Harrigan than the game. Unafraid of controversy and determined to speak the truth, he is just as much a character off the field as on. From growing up in Sydney's southwest to dealing with life-threatening situations as an elite police officer, Bill has seen the best and worst life has to offer. A family man, of more complexity and sensitivity than the figure often presented in the media, this book gives readers the chance to get to know the real Bill Harrigan. Love him or hate him, Harrigan is like the matches he controls: fast-paced, free-flowing and exttremely memorable.Daniel Lane is the author of 'Harrigan : The Referee in a League of His Own' with ISBN 9780733618888 and ISBN 073361888X.
