Old School is the life story of one of rugby league's most popular players, and captain of the Parramatta Eels, Nathan Hindmarsh. It tells the inspiring story of an old-fashioned type of footballer – a one-club man whose hard work and commitment on the footy field is legendary, and who has always led from the front.

Along the way it gives readers a view from the touchline of Hindmarsh's record-breaking career at Parramatta, and chronicles the dizzying highs of playing for your club, state and country and the heartbreaking lows of grand final defeats. Hindmarsh shares his views on his teammates and coaches, and reveals with unflinching honesty the personal issues that he has struggled with off the field.

Down-to-earth, honest and full of warmth and humour, this book will be treasured by Nathan's army of fans and friends.

Since making his first-grade rugby league debut in 1998, Hindmarsh has played for the Parramatta Eels for 15 consecutive seasons and is their most-capped player, with over 300 games under his belt. One of the most popular players of the game, he is equal world record-holder for the most number of tackles made in one match (75). Hindmarsh lives with his wife and three sons in north-western Sydney.

              I loved finally reading about my favourite league player.
              The story was easy to read , informative and very entertaining. Also contained some surprising information not previously known about Nathan. Love the photographs included.
              Will be a favourite of any league fan.
