Malcolm Blight: Player, Coach, Legend by Tim Watson and James Weston

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly to spine. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and at spine. Interior and binding are still very good.

Malcolm Blight is as famous for his mercurial nature as he is for his footy and his coaching. He's been a fixture on the Aussie Rules scene since he began playing for the Woodville FC in the SANFL in the late 1960s. In the 1970s, he joined North Melbourne FC and made his mark as a consistently brilliant player who twice played in a premiership side.

He was the first player to win the Magarey and Brownlow medals, the only player to top both the SANFL and VFL goalkicking lists, and the only player to captain both Victorian and South Australian representative sides.

He was also an equally brilliant but controversial coach, with stints at North Melbourne and Woodville as a player-coach, and at Geelong, Adelaide and St Kilda as a senior coach.

His career has been marked by success and drama in equal portions, but both friends and enemies revere him as a legend. (book flap)
