Description
Adam Hawse's Spudd: The Autobiography is a raw and unflinching account of his time in the brutal world of rugby league. A player known for his fearlessness and tenacity, Carroll recounts his most intense battles on the field, including legendary clashes with Newcastle rival Paul "Chief" Harragon. From his early days playing for the Panthers, Rabbitohs, and Sea Eagles to his later stints at the elite level, Spudd shares stories of his search-and-destroy missions each weekend. He also lifts the lid on his volatile relationship with Harragon, including a memorable incident when they refused to room together during the NSW State of Origin team selection process. Carroll's career spanned over a decade, from 1987 to 1999, and included more than 200 games. He played in three grand finals, ultimately tasting premiership success with Manly in 1996 under the guidance of Rugby League Immortal Bob Fulton.
