Old School

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.
