Brian Corrigan began his working life as a country doctor but rose to become a leading rheumatologist, and one of Australia's greatest sports doctors. His decades of medical intervention, treating cricket players, soccer players, and Olympic sports men and women, have helped them play when it seemed that the odds were stacked against them. His understanding and acute diagnostic ability have led him to trial treatments that have extended the sporting lives of some of our greatest heroes. The Life of Brianis a wonderful collection of his stories, always laced with the larrikin charm, comic humour and common sense that has so endeared him to our sporting pantheon.
