Bill Harrigan: A Referee in a League of His Own - Daniel Lane

Older book in reasonable reading condition. 

Rarely has someone involved with sport - and certainly never before a referee or umpire - transcended the boundaries of his or her code the way Harringan has' COURIER MAIL

As Australia's leading Rugby League referee, Harrigan has a profile equal to the major players. He has refereed a record number of grand finals and State of Origins, and has seen the game's best players up close - often in his face. His determination and commitment to be the best is second to none. But there is more to Bill Harrigan than the game. Unafraid of controversy and determined to speak the truth, he is just as much a character off the field as on. From growing up in Sydney's southwest to dealing with life-threatening situations as an elite police officer, Bill has seen the best and worst life has to offer. A family man, of more complexity and sensitivity than the figure often presented in the media, this book gives readers the chance to get to know the real Bill Harrigan. Love him or hate him, Harrigan is like the matches he controls: fast-paced, free-flowing and exttremely memorable.
