Being the son of a rugby league legend didn’t quite fit with Brandon Jack. His new book ‘28’ delves deep into the search for his own identity while living a life that was imagined for him. He didn't really fit that life.
The book is so much more than a football memoir….it’s a snapshot of the professional sport psyche. It’s full of vivid details of life at the fringe, and memories of binge-drinking into oblivion as an escape during his playing days at the Sydney Swans.
Brandon talks about many of the things the rest of us try to hide. The book is about family, ambition, ability and the search for love.
