More Fish Tales

Synopsis

How did Terry Daniher save a famous Melbourne stately home's priceless chandelier from crashing to the floor? What happened when Lou Richards gave big Simon Madden a massage? Is Billy Brownless any good at making milkshakes? And what did James Hird want with the Fish at 3a.m., one hour after surgery? Paul Salmon the Big Fish reveals all in MORE FISH TALES. In his second collection of stories from a long and eventful playing career, Australian football's most celebrated big man takes us behind the scenes, into the change rooms and boardrooms and onto the field. Paul tells of match-day madness inside the coach's box, various teammates' brave but unsuccessful business ventures, his comeback year with Essendon in 2002 and the ongoing challenge of trying to figure out the enigma that is Kevin Sheedy. Just like sitting down and having a chinwag with a mate, MORE FISH TALES is a delightful mixture of people's stupidity, the foolish indiscretions of youth, some well-chosen words of wisdom and a laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all.
