Stacey Jones is as uncomplicated as a Sunday afternoon. He is a simple man with simple passions - his family, his wife, his two daughters, his fishing, his golf and, of course, his rugby league. His humility means that he will never rate himself as one of the greatest players of his time, but the fact is, he is. Stacey Jones, encapsulates everything good about the modern day Warrior. On the field he leads by example. His team-mates look to him for inspiration. His coach looks to him for leadership. It's a role he is comfortable with - not because of the associated glory but because he has been doing it since the Warriors inception in 1995. Along with Logan Swann, Stacey Jones is the only remaining Warrior original. Never completely satisfied, Stacey Jones, is now focused on bringing the glory days to Ericsson Stadium. His dream? Simple. WIN. Stacey Jones tells the story of his rise to rugby league stardom as schoolboy player, Warrior and Kiwi. He tells of the games played, triumphs and defeats, and mates he has played with. This book is a tribute, in words and photographs, to the greatest New Zealand player of his generation.
