"Ossie Rules" by Richard Osborne with Michael Hyde.
I believe he's in Collingwood colours on the cover as it was released in 1998.
I found it years ago for $5 and I didnt take it. It must have been 1999/2000 or something like that.
Every so often I look for it on ebay, but it never comes up.

Yep, I have a copy! He was my favourite player when I was 8 or 9, so it was a treasured possession. Is there anything in particular you want from the book (e.g. scans or passages), or are you just looking to get hold of a copy to own?

The website ABE Books is good for hard to find books. All the independent book sellers are connected.
Found a copy in Brisbane: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDe ... 1-_-title1

Thanks guys.
Last night the website gave me some grief with my credit card, but it's turned out to be fine now after calling them today (The store in Brisbane).
Ended up costing me $30 tho
It says condition "Very Good" so I hope it's ok. You never know until you open the parcel.

It's not your typical player bio. It's fairly slight. Osborne sees himself as a bit of a strange cat, and it comes through a bit in this book and its style.
Michael Hyde, the book's co-writer, was a teacher of mine at Vic Uni back in the day, and I got my copy of the book from him. A bit of a strange cat himself.

I fondly remember Ossie leading the Swans to a famous victory over the Dees at the SCG in front of 12 people, the first swans win in something like 40+ games...great player

No Kill for Collingwood or Collingwood 1892-1948 in your list. Time to start making suggestions to Santa.KenH wrote:Some of my books, I tried to attach a photo of them but I can't seem to do it! Ha ha,
