Jim Champer built his fortune by trading on other people's weaknesses. Now he could buy or sell and dictate to all around him...until a shrewd hick footballer arrived on the scene. Sam Archer was handsome, hot-headed and virile. He played life (and football) according to his own rules - making sure that no-one could blow the whistle on him.

The Big Ruck reveals all the power plays behind today's Australian professional football. The egoists, the debaucherers, the hangers-on - they're all here. So are those who loved to play the game and those who simply loved to play.

- Publisher's blurb, back cover.
