1 y separately published work icon Wayne Bennett : The Man in the Mirror Wayne Bennett , Steve Crawley , Sydney : ABC Books , 2008 Z1556781 2008 single work autobiography 'In an age when few things stay the same for any length of time, Wayne Bennett's unprecedented 21-year run as coach of the Brisbane Broncos is an extraordinary achievement. His men won all six of the grand finals they contested in this time, and as Queensland State of Origin coach, Bennett lost just two series out of seven. In two stints as Australian coach, he built an incredible record of 11 wins and a draw from 15 Tests. Wayne Bennett: The Man in the Mirror is the candid story of this remarkable man who helped launch a new rugby league club and turned it into a powerhouse. Bennett has always sought to make a difference. A man of principle, Bennett has had to make many tough choices over the years, such as sacking the legendary Wally Lewis and joining the Super League revolution. In 2008, he made the shock decision to leave the Broncos, and join the ailing Sydney club St George Illawarra. Once again, Bennett is aiming to prove the critics wrong; to prove he's one of a kind. Throughout his great football adventure, Bennett and his wife Trish have raised three children, two of whom are disabled.' Source: www.allenandunwin.com/ (Sighted 28/01/2009).
