Ricky Nixon is the most powerful and influential AFL player manager of his generation. A fearless agent for change, he has represented many of the league's superstars over the last 20 years such as Ablett, Carey, Lockett, Dunstall, Hird, Voss, Cousins and Riewoldt. Nixon's career in football stretches for 25 years. His story gives the inside view on the game - and those who run it. From the outlandish club culture that predated the introduction of full-time professionalism in the 1990s, through to today's superstars and super salaries, Nixon has seen it all. His book reveals the ultra-competitive, occasionally incendiary world of sports management, where riding 'shotgun' for star clients through good and bad times is mandatory. And key participants reveal the bitter struggle for player rights that lasted decades.
