His father, Ron Barassi, Sr., was killed at Tobruk during World War II. The young Barassi spent his latter teenage years living with Norm Smith, coach of the Melbourne Football Club and a former teammate of his father. Barassi's name is synonymous with Australian football. He is held by many as the game's greatest identity acknowledged by being the first player to be inaugurated into the Australian Football Hall of Fame as a Legend. Barassi's coaching career was both successful and regarded by many as revolutionary.[1] Barassi's clean record and passion for the game has earned him a place as celebrity and popular culture figure in Australia.
