Known affectionately as Silk for his breathtaking grace on the field, Burgoyne chronicles his remarkable journey through an AFL career spanning more than two decades — breaking the record for the most games played by an Indigenous Australian and cementing himself as one of the game's true legends across three clubs: Port Adelaide, Hawthorn, and St Kilda.\n\nWritten with journalist Martin Blake, Silk: Football · Family · Respect is far more than a sporting memoir — it is a profound meditation on cultural identity, Indigenous pride, and what it means to belong. Burgoyne argues powerfully for respect: for country, for community, and for the generations who came before him, weaving his Pitjantjatjara heritage through every chapter with quiet dignity and unflinching honesty. For anyone who has ever wondered what truly drives a champion, this book offers an answer that will stay with you long after the final siren sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51070621712603,"sku":"2026100012125-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cdd290c6-b1d7-4dd2-b278-9bb61e8c73a0.png?v=1794188086","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012125-secondhand-silk-football-family-respect-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
