Jack Gibson's Fur Coat

If rugby league buried a time capsule Jack Gibson's fur coat would be the first item placed inside - if you could solve the mystery of its whereabouts. League's precious artefacts include Thurston's headgear, Langland's white boots, Reggie the Rabbit's tail and a snag from the Dragon's season-ending BBQ. Or you could fill it with stories of players who were poisoned, didn't show for the grand final or took the field drunk. In Jack Gibson's Fur Coat, Glen Humphries tells the stories that live on the margins. You simply couldn't make up rugby league's best yarns.
