About Michael Sexton

Had never heard of Jack Broadstock, but a little reading has shown me the great potential for an interesting book on his life and career. I look forward to getting my hands on a copy of this biography at some stage.
Met the great man in the early 80’s at WAFC bar where he was with Mopsy Fraser. Had a great chat especially when I mentioned my grandfather who was a noted footballer on Yorke Peninsula when he was growing up and who he knew well.
The Broadstock family lived in same street.
Was a real treat to chat with these legends.
I am not in adelaide but would like to know where I can get a copy of the book
Cheers

Hi Grant, you can order a copy from here

I read this with great interest, given my history with West Adelaide and what I had heard about Broadstock over the years. What a great read about a wonderful, if flawed, character and beautifully researched and written.
Looking forward to the launch.
Mine’s in the post.

I would like to buy a copy after hearing conversations with Cornsy. Please advise how I can do this. Thanks Michael
