Description

Champions: New Zealand Sports Greats of the 20th Century- Ron Palenski & Joseph Romanos. "It is the pinnacle of sporting recognition in New Zealand... the Halberg Award, the successor to the Sportsman of the Year. This book traces 50 years of New Zealand's premier sporting award, highlighting and profiling the lives of the sportsmen and women whose endeavours we have followed, rejoiced in and marvelled at. It represents half a century of sporting excellence. But it is even more than that. The Halberg Trust, in its search for the Sports Champion of the Century, delved into the past and with the assistance of the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame, came up with champions of the decade for every decade of the century. All are profiled here as well as the Sportsman of the Year and Halberg Award winners. World champions, Olympic champions - this is the cream of New Zealand sport. Heading the list is the Sports Champion of the Century, the athlete the public and the Halberg Trust's voting academy deemed to be the best of the best. Each profile, plus the history of the Trust, is accompanied by rare photographs, some never published before. This book must reside on the bookshelves of every New Zealand sports lover - and isn't that all of us? Great condition, only a few creases along the edges but overall tight and bright.
