HarperCollins Publishers is delighted to announce that Rugby League great Andrew Johns has signed up to do his end-of-career autobiography. The publication date is yet to be confirmed, however it will be in a key gift period and Andrew Johns will be heavily involved in its promotion. ‘We are beyond thrilled to have this book,' said HarperCollins publishing director Shona Martyn. ‘Joey Johns is one of Australia's true sports heroes--admired by sports fans across the codes for his on-field prowess.'
To be written with the help of sports journalist Neil Cadigan, the autobiography also promises a candid assessment of the off-field life of the Newcastle Knights player. Andrew Johns is recognised by most as the sport's greatest ever player: he is the greatest point-scorer in the ARL/NRL competition's history; has twice won the Golden Boot award as the world's premier player; is the only man to have won the Dally M Medal (as the NRL competition's best player) three times and has captained Australia.
