'The Angry Anderson story. A man full of contradictions - a self-confessed former chronic drunk and drug taker with a violent history, who has been made a recipient of both an Advance Australia Award and an Australia Medal for his services to the community. A sexually, physically and mentally abused child who broke the brutal family pattern to become a besotted, devoted father of four.'

1 y separately published work icon Fatty: The Strife and Times of Paul Vautin Mike Colman , Randwick : Ironbark , 1993 Z1653457 1993 single work biography Described on the jacket cover as 'the most explosive book about rugby league since King Wally... [and] the funniest; a rollicking saga which tracks the many highs (and lows) which punctuated the career of football's famous redhead. In characteristic fashion Vautin goes unflinchingly straight up the middle, trampling on toes, and scattering football's sacred cows in all directions. The book is full of revelations - of drugs in football, the inside story of his painful exit from Manly, the dramas at Jack Gibson's Easts, and much more. It provides an enthralling and riotous overview of rugby league's most colourful decade.'
