One in a Hundred - The AFL Centenary Diaries of Gavin Brown, Wayne Carey, James Hird, Glen Jakovich and Tony Modra
Various

Blurb: For anyone who's missed the hype, 1996 represents one hundred years of Australian Rules football. In this centenary season, five of the AFL's greatest stars give us a complete and personal record of their very different seasons - Collingwood's Gavin Brown, North Melbourne's Wayne Carey, Essendon's James Hird, West Coast's Glen Jakovich and Adelaide's Tony Modra.

Week by week they take us through the football year, from pre-season training to the Grand Final itself. Along the way we see through their eyes the dramas and controversies, triumphs and disasters that made up football's centenary, from club mergers and devastating injury to winning the AFL's greatest individual honour, the Brownlow Medal, and the ultimate achievement of all, captaining a team to premiership victory. Their views and insights - always forthright, fascinating and often very funny - make One in a Hundred reading for anyone interested in how it feels to play AFL at the highest level.
