- About the Book
-
No Free Kicks is an inspiring story of growing up in twentieth century Australia. Here are men like Mowan, afraid of no one, who rode his horse into the local pub to demand a drink, women like Jackbam, Minnie, Ruby and Lily who battled the odds for the wellbeing of their families, and the remarkable Hayward brothers, Maley, Bill and Eric, who set the football world alight. This is a story of pride and also shame; fear and confidence; limitation and opportunity; love and great loneliness; hard work and disappointment; but above all, of the power of community and family. The triumphant and empowering story of an extraordinary, ordinary Australian family.
