David Ireland (Author)
David Ireland was once a boy weakened by lethal asthma attacks. He was rendered dumb by a negligent doctor, was bullied at school and was made an example of by teachers who predicted he would never achieve anything.

His Crocodile Man doco was a global success in the early 1990s.
