When rival captains Norm Provan and Arthur Summons came together in
a momentary embrace at the end of the 1963 Rugby League grand
final, they could never have imagined the tradition they were
building. They became the subject of one of sport's most enduring
images, and ultimately the centrepiece of League's premiership
trophy.Fifty years on, that moment is still celebrated as an iconic
reflection of the game and its people. It is also a symbol of the
changing face of sport, and of the role that sport has played in
the Australian way of life. This book traces the legacy of Norm
Provan and Arthur Summons and the champions of their time. In their
own words, they tell how the game was, how it has changed, and
where it is headed. They bring insight that only time and
experience can fashion, and they do so with jaunty good
humour.Provan and Summons remain two of the most recognised players
in the game. They were champion internationals in their own right,
and they each went on to become coaches of high achievement. Provan
is perhaps the most successful player of all time, having played in
ten grand finals and won the lot.They were the fiercest of rivals
through three successive grand finals. Yet through the image that
has immortalised them, they have become lifelong friends. This is
their story and their sometimes provocative reflections on what has
happened to Rugby League since.
