the story of a champion: a man with a passion for football and family. Silvagni. the mere mention of the name evokes indelible images of the Carlton Football Club, for whom AFL?greatest ever father-son combination so gloriously plied its craft. For more than 40 years, the Silvagni name has been a part of the Carlton vernacular - from 1958, when Sergio made his senior debut, through to Stephen?retirement in September 2001. By the time the sinewy, spring-heeled Stephen turned out for his first senior appearance against the Swans in 1985, the 17-year-old had already inherited the potentially burdensome nickname of ?S?'96 ?n Of Serge'. But it mattered little for the kid in his old man?

No.1 guernsey, who, for the next 17 seasons, eked out his own glorious career - encompassing more than 300 senior appearances, two Grand Final triumphs, and of course wll-Back of the 20th Century?tatus. Stephen?story, with all its highs and lows, is told in detail to long-time Carlton supporter tony De Bolfo, who spent much of his 18 years as a football writer, reporting the Stephen?on-field feats. this book, Stephen?biography, is testament to a truly outstanding player and an undisputed Carlton legend.
