This memoir is one that all footy fans will want to own and read and re-read.'Peggy O'Neal, former president of Richmond FC After booting two goals to help the Richmond Tigers secure a drought-breaking premiership win over Adelaide in 2017, Jack Riewoldt jumped on stage at the MCG to sing with The Killers, one of his all-time favourite bands. The song – ‘Mr Brightside’ – became his anthem. When faced with challenges, including the loss of his much-loved cousin Maddie and the misunderstanding that dogged much of his career, his positive attitude pulled him through. A far cry from his beginnings as a mischievous youngster, Jack is now seen as a revered leader of the game.
