When it comes to sport, there's not too much that Debbie Spillane hasn't done or seen. Chock full of funny, fascinating and sometimes painful stories about sports, sports fans, sports people, sports officials and sports media. A great read for like-minded men and women!
Debbie grew up in a family where sport was king: from babyhood Debbie accompanied her father to their weekly religious attendance of the rugby league match of the day at the Sydney Cricket Ground; by primary school she was gleefully sharing her grandfather's obsession with horseracing; and in high school she became a qualified cricket umpire and acquired a ruby league coaching certificate. Did someone mention sports mad?
The 2GB Sports Talent Search kick-started her career as a sports journalist and just four months after this, she was on her way to the Los Angeles Olympics as a commentator for ABC radio. With funny and fascinating tales of sports media, athletes and officials, Debbie takes us behind the scenes at Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, and into individual sports - athletics, basketball, cricket and rugby league. Best known for her television role as Sportsbitch in the iconic 'Live and Sweaty' where sports met comedy, here is a woman who knows her sport.
In this entertaining slice of life, irresistible to all sports-mad readers, Debbie shares an extraordinary range of incredible sporting moments. For anyone who's ever dreamed of picking up a microphone.
