About
I have been interested in Australian football, and in particular its history, for well in excess of half a century. Between January 2001 and December 2011 I ran a website called Full Points Footy which was devoted to the Australia-wide history of the game. Much of the original Full Points Footy content can now be viewed on www.australianfootball.com, a website maintained by Adam Cardosi with a similar agenda to FPF. I continue to update the club entries on Adam’s site on an annual basis. My latest website, Footy Flashbacks, explores Australian football history all across Australia on a year by year basis. Content is restricted to the twentieth century, which I firmly believe will come to be regarded as football’s pre-eminent era. In addition to my online work I have published eleven books about Australian football, plus several novels.
Story Behind The Book
Australian football match reviews and player profiles in the context of world and Australian historical events and developments during the first quarter of the twentieth century. The book concentrates especially on football in its heartland of Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania.
