For the first time, he has alllowed close friend Phil Gifford to write about the side his friends have always known, the faithful friend and self-made man who always knew where he was going, without ever forgetting where he'd been.

In a revealing glimpse into the private world of the King of the Sausage Sizzle, find out just waht makes the Butcher everybody's mate.
