'Maxwell Henry Walker, commonly known as ‘Tangles” to friends, fans and opponents alike, is one of those rarities in sport. A man who became a champion in two entirely different fields and a ‘character’ in each. Max was a child prodigy in both cricket and football. It is difficult enough for any sportsman to get to the top in one field of endeavour, let alone two: Max not only succeeded but worked his way through an architectural course at the same time. This is a fascinating book about a fascinating sportsman whose sense of perspective is reinforced by a great, native Australian humour.' (Publication summary)
