Sing along with iconic singer-songwriter Paul Kelly as he pays tribute to one of Australia's great sporting heroes.

Perfect to gift, read-aloud or sing! This inspirational story, written by an absolute legend of Australian music, highlights perseverance, self-belief and the power of sport and song to bring Australians together.
