Capture Iron Eagle Prepared By Dean Cox Shown As Script

Dean Cox on Iron Eagle
up in WA you cant help but be suffocated by West Coast Eagles garble, It did help knowing who the players he referred to through out the book are but if you were an eastern states reader you'd be hard pressed to pick up much of anything from this book.
It's written by a footy player for footy fans WCE fans especially
The book itself was badly written and more of a statistical review of theodd years COX played for the eagles.
Not a lot of personal information or feelings shared,
Not much depth went into his personal life or his relationships, very little info was shared around the culture at the Eagles during thedrug/party era at the club.
And "What you don't know wont hurt you" was mentioned a couple of times which passes off as more of a cop out than the truth.

Unless you're a committed AFL fan or a West Coast Eagles die hard I'd pass up this read, would have been better being written as a Biography with an external point of view on his career and the going ons of the club.
A very brushed over story written as an autobiography,
This book is written in the same style Cox played his early career at East Perth lumbering and disjointed.
Its an autobiography painfully not ghostwritten and for that I guess you have to give him props, If you were after inside information during the tumultuous drug days at the Eagles you will leave bitterly disappointed, although there was a little bit on the epic EaglesSwans rivalry.
All in all, what you would come to expect from an AFL players life story, P. s if you don't like Dampier, you won't enjoy the firstpages book was good!! could have maybe gone a bit deeper into the drug problems at the club.
