More of Cometti's football wisdom.

Harvey, the smallest player in the AFL, has become a marking option. Remarkable! He might be the only guy in the competition whose feet appear in his driver licence photo.Sporting fans around Australia are regularly treated to the commentary skills of Dennis Cometti. His in depth knowledge and eloquent style make him popular, but it is his way with words which most often draws attention. Cometti-isms - sometimes planned and researched, other times spur of the moment - are casually dropped into his commentary to the delight of fans and, sometimes, the bemusement of his co-commentators. That’s Ambitious is Cometti’s second collection of his favourite comments and is accompanied by explanations of the context in which each comment was made, as well as black and white photos. For any Cometti or football fan, this little offering is a delight.
