Product description

Hughie Williams grew up knowing the poverty caused by the Great Depression. Losing both parents at a young age, Hughie's early life was one of loneliness, deprivation, and often humiliation. One of his early escapes was to the Newcastle Police Boys Club, and to see Jimmy Sharman's travelling wrestling troupe. This love of wrestling would lead to Hughie representing his country at the Tokyo Olympics.

Later Hughie found the other love of his life, the Transport Workers Union, where he worked his way up to become State Secretary.

Hughie's life has been one of struggle and success, defeat and victory, political intrigue and, occasionally, danger. He has overcome the odds on numerous occasions, and this is his story.
