No, I believe that you have to purchase it via the website. I will find the website and attach the link.

Hear, hear. I totally agree with this.
Barrie is one of the gentlemen from an era when what you did on the sporting field was separate from your life.
An era when you played for the love of it and did not receive (as many of) the kickbacks that you get from playing these days.
Barrie, despite his wish to stay in the background, is an absolute icon of the game and his story does need to be told, if only to remind us of a time when football was played the way he and his contemporaries played it.
And, of course, to reminds us how good he truly was.
I am saddened that Barrie chose not to be part of the book, it is almost naive of him to believe that people would not be interested in his story.
However, I do understand his desire for privacy - another example of why the man is so great.
Maybe a fellow contemporary and Magarey Medallist, who continues to find himself in the media for all of the wrong reasons, should take note of the wonderful example Robran continues to set to us all in his personal and business dealings.
So, now the Robran book's out...when does the Ebert one get released?

You would have to be secretly chuffed to have something like this published about you even if you are super humble
