My Take
What strikes me about Andrew Johns is the body of work behind his reputation as one of the greatest rugby league players ever: captaining the Newcastle Knights to premierships in 1997 and 2001 over a club-record 249 games, plus 21 Tests for Australia. The fact that he turned to autobiography tells me he understood his story mattered beyond the scoreboard, that legacy is built in words as much as tries. Born in 1974, an Australian Sports Medal recipient, he reads to me as the kind of athlete whose greatness lived in feel and instinct rather than measurables. I would have loved to watch him play.
