In the brutal world of rugby league, only the toughest can survive. And Petero Civoniceva is the ultimate survivor. His career has spanned an incredible fifteen years, seeing him become Australia and Queensland's most-capped forward. The euphoric highs and painful lows of rugby league transformed a shy Fijian boy into a peerless player and a true leader on and off the field, as Petero became one of the most loved and respected sportsmen of his generation.
This is his inspiring personal story. From his rise to fame at the mighty Brisbane Broncos, his coming of age as a State of Origin and Kangaroo star, his challenging time as captain of the Penrith Panthers, followed by his emotional return home to the Broncos, this book reveals Petero's memories of the classic games, the truth behind the controversies, and his encounters with other greats of the game.
Petero: My Story shows us the remarkable man behind the legend - his humble beginnings, his love for his family, his compassion and generosity, and his dreams for the future.
Petero Civoniceva was born 21 April 1976 in Fiji and moved to Queensland just before he was one. He is married to his high school sweetheart Bonnie and is the proud father of four children.
