Simple premise, what players in the league would you be most be interested in reading their autobiographies when they retire?
From a Port perspective, it'd be Travis Boak. First year player in the losing side of the 07 GF, to being a young leader at a club on its knees, the events surrounding JMac (RIP), to turning down the lure of your hometown club to captain a club with "Dead" written all over it and having to galvanize the players after some truly horrific circumstances, to leading the club on the field to an unprecedented resurgence all within the space of a decade. Would be a truly great read for any Port fan or footy fan in general if he were to write about his playing career when he hangs up the boots.
From players outside the club, and this may be cheating, but I wouldn't mind reading about Jack Watts at Melbourne. You're an 18 year old stick figure who's picked at #1 in the draft by one of the worst sides in history, and told straight away that you're going to save that club and lead them back to glory, only for that to backfire horrendously for all parties involved and become the face for said worst side in history. Would be highly interesting to read what it was like for Jack at that time.
