This heady mix of poignant, funny and revealing stories reflects the bitter-sweet sporting career of author Neil Marks. At 21, Marks was a sensation in the NSW Sheffield Shield team, scoring centuries in his first two games. At 22 his career was over, cut cruelly short by a serious heart problem. Totally unaffected by that disappointment was Marks' love of sport - all sport - inherited from his renowned father, Alec Marks.
In Tales from the Locker Room Neil Marks has written arguably the finest collection of sporting stories to be published in Australia. He ranges through cricket, rugby league, golf, racing and rugby in telling his ageless yarns. Some are hilarious, some deeply moving; all offer the reader captivating insights into the world of sport. Champions walk the author's stage - Bradman, Churchill, Barassi, Neil Harvey, Mike Whitney, Mark Ella and countless more. No one has ever captured the feeling or meaning of Australian sport better than Neil Marks.
