Brisbane Broncos legend Corey Parker has played more rugby league games than any other forward in the game's 108-year history. After 16 seasons and over 340 NRL games - plus 19 Origin games for Queensland and 13 Tests for Austrlaia - it's clear why Parker is hailed 'League's ultimate iron man'. Power. Dedication. Durability. These are the steely qualities that make Corey a hero to footy fans in Queensland and throughout the NRL. Yet the silver-haired elder statesman who captained the Broncos in 2016 was light years from the raw-boned, skin-headed teenager who burst onto the scene in 2001. Iron Man is the extraordinary autobiography of how that wild kid from Logan evolved into a premiership-winning star, a one-club man, an Origin icon and a sharp-shooting goal-kicker and hard-running hit man whose epic feats on the footy field demanded respect from all who played with and against him. Foreword by Wayne Bennett
