Ron Barassi is arguably Australian football's most famous name and most famous face. For more than half a century he has towered over the game whether as a player, a captain, a coach and, now, a legend. So it seems entirely appropriate that Barassi has finally opened up his personal memorabilia and scrapbook collection in this remarkable new publication.

Icons Of Australian Sport - Ron Barassi is the latest publication from a best-selling series that has included football luminaries such as Leigh Matthews and Gary Ablett. This stunning 288-page full colour book highlights Barassi's monumental contribution to football. It documents the highs and lows, the tears and triumphs, the controversies and the premierships of an extraordinary career.

With revealing personal insights into what made him the person he is, and the footballer he was, Barassi takes the reader through his involvement with four great clubs - Melbourne, Carlton, North Melbourne and the Sydney Swans.
