One of the greatest and most influential footballers the AFL has seen, Malcolm Blight has been a key figure in Aussie Rules since he began playing in the late 1960s.
As famous for his mercurial nature as he is for his footy, Blight was the first player to win both the Magarey and Brownlow medals. He is the only footballer to have topped the SANFL and VFL goal- kicking lists, as well as being the only person to captain both Victorian and South Australian sides.
An equally brilliant but also controversial coach- with stints as player-coach at North Melbourne and Woodville, and senior coach at Geelong, Adelaide and St Kilda-Blight's career has been marked by success and drama, yet friends and enemies alike revere him as a legend of the game.
Written with Malcolm Blight's participation by prominent sports journalist and respected media personality Tim Watson-who himself played in multiple premiership teams, and coached St Kilda- this book includes rare and revealing insights from some of the greats of AFL from Ron Barassi and Wayne Schimmelbusch, to Crows premiership captain Mark Bickley and Geelong's Billy Brownless.
In this first-ever Blight biography, the man's elusive character comes to light in his own words and through his remarkable achievements.
