He’s gained a strong following with his passionate, revealing tales of SA sporting greats and characters on The Footy Almanac website.
Now Malcolm Ashwood, aka Rulebook, has compiled his best yarns in The Definitive Rulebook.
He gets up close and personal with Garry McIntosh, Grenville Dietrich, Greg Blewett, Neil Craig, Tim Ginever and a host of other prominent SA sport stars.
There are also some local legends like Malcolm’s hero, Fred ‘Chocka’ Bloch, and 500-game Adelaide University goalkicker Darren Graetz and courageous stories of how Wayne Phillips, Alan Stringer and David Payne have bounced back from post-sport difficulties.
And you will be inspired by the heart-warming stories of Chris Grigg and Rick Neagle. With forewords by Neil Balme and Michael Aish.
