Paperback. John Peard is a legend of Australian Rugby League. Immensely talented, in the 1960s and '70s he starred for Eastern Suburbs in their grand final wins under Jack Gibson in 1974 and '75, and also played with distinction for St George, Parramatta, NSW and Australia. A consummate linkman in attack and a punishing defender, he was known as 'the Bomber', exponent of the most deadly and accurate 'up and under' kick the game of rugby league had ever seen. this controversial and tactical innovation terrorised opposition teams for years and led to scores of tries for Russell Fairfax, Ian Schubert, Mark Harris, Ray Price, Mick Cronin and other greats of his era - and literally changed the game. On his retirement he became a successful coach, businessman and a popular ABC commentator. But John Peard's memoir is more than just great football yarns and grand final memories. In 2002, at only 57, he suffered a massive stroke. Doctors did not expect him to survive and his loved ones were told to prepare for the worst. Yet survive he did. Mustering all of his famous good humour and grit he rebuilt his life. Knowing he had been given a second chance, he wasn't going to waste it. Slowly but surely his condition improved. He taught himself to walk and think and speak again, to tie his laces, shower and make a cup of tea. today he is an inspirational public speaker and comedian. As a professional footballer and coach, John was a champion for a generation of players and fans but today, as a stroke survivor, he is an inspiration to anyone faced with the challenge of battling back after terrible adversity. Fine, thanks Mate is an unforgettable story of survival. It is about the power of family and good mates, optimism and hope, and the difference sheer bloody determination can make to your life. John Peard is a rugby league legend. But John's memoir is more than football yarns. In 2002, at only 57 he suffered a massive stroke Doctors did not expect him to live and his family prepared for the worst. Fine, thanks mate is an unforgettable story of survival.
