Book excerpt: Summary: "He's been a fixture in Australian lounge rooms for decades - the face of sport on the Nine Network for thirty years. He has presented the sports report on the evening news, been the long-time host of 'The Wide World of Sport' and acted as the network's anchorman at many of the world's biggest sporting events, including the summer and winter Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, Wimbledon and the US Masters. He has been a legendary survivor in an industry notorious for its fickleness, and has worked closely with some of the biggest names in Australian television and sport. He is Ken Sutcliffe, much-loved journalist, sportscaster and personality. The story of his life also takes in many landmark events in Australian sport and television over the last thirty years, and it is one told with characteristic good humour and larrikin charm."--Publisher description.
