LINDRUM: The Uncrowned King

The Lindrums were a family of champions, mainly in billiards and snooker, but also in primary industry (winemaking) and entertainment (dixie-land jazz). There were five world-class champions in the same discipline in only four generations, sparking Austraia’s (If not the world’s) greatest sporting family dynasty. The book written by Horace Lindrum’s daughter, Janne, recounts the history of this great sporting family and of her father Horace Lindrum, hailed as the most travelled sportsman of his era. The story is fraught with War, betrayal, crime, corruption, and controversy as it delves into this familys rich history culminating in the story of a man who despite tragedy and family upheaval wave his family flag on the world stage for a remarkable 50 years.
