To his millions of fans, Reg Reagan typifies some uniquely Australian values - he loves a beer or twenty, would root anything with a pulse, is an extreme practitioner of on-field sporting violence, sticks by his mates (until he gets a better offer), and has the most famous mo and mullet since Newk and Connor’s shared a post-match shower together.
But how did this son of Cessnock become such a role model for Australian manhood? Ever since Reg was sprung at a high-class massage parlour by Mike Munro on This Is Your Life, he has been itching (literally) to tell the real story of his journey from small-time footy thug to superstardom. It’s a tale that takes the reader from the gritty world of rugby league to the effete and overpaid poofs who play soccer for Manchester United; from the big-wave and bikini-inspired adrenalin of the world surfing tour to horse racing’s pinnacle, the Melbourne Cup (and the intricacies of DIY gelding using only a butter knife); from the Cessnock RSL all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet to the White House, and from some of the lowest dives ever to serve a cold KB to, well - some of the lowest dives ever to serve a cold KB.
Alongside such classic memoirs as AB Facey’s A Fortunate Life, Sue Ebury’s Weary Dunlop and Sara Henderson’s From Strength to Strength, this book has also been printed the right way up. Other than that they have absolutely nothing in common.
Crude, offensive, opinionated and deeply ignorant, in telling his story, Reg Reagan pulls no punches, in fact, the only thing he does pull is . . .
