Sonny Ball: The Legend of Sonny Bill Williams

Author(s): Paul Kent

NZ Biography & Memoir | Sport

Like most legends, we heard about Sonny Bill Williams before we saw him. Fast, powerful, handsome, enigmatic, Sonny Bill is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime player coaches build premierships on, and clubs create dynasties around. But 'SBW' is not like other footballers. He was rugby league's youngest ever contracted player yet walked out in 2008, breaking his contract with the Bulldogs to play rugby union in France. The NRL vowed never to have him back. Yet in Europe, Sonny Bill's star never dimmed. His legend only grew. All the while, SBW was proving a modern truth. That in this new sporting world success is everything and memory is short. And no matter the code, when it comes to Sonny Bill Williams, everyone - clubs, fans, sponsors, media - ends up playing Sonny Ball.
