The Melbourne or Essendon supporter who does the Big Freeze every year and will not discuss why
What it is
Neale Daniher’s memoir, 384-page hardcover, written after his 2013 Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis and originally conceived as a letter to his grandchildren. Winner of the ABIA Biography Book of the Year 2020.
Why we picked it
This is the book that turned Daniher from a football name into the reason 100,000 people slide down an ice slide every June, and it is about facing a terminal diagnosis rather than about football. Give it to a man who does not talk about that sort of thing and it does some of the talking for you.
