The Footballers, from 1885 to the West Coast Eagles by Geoff Christian

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Faint mark on top foredge. Interior and binding are still very good.

Examines well over a century of football development in Western Australia, from the colonial era to the end of the 1980s.

In this unique book, loom heroes of yesterday are placed on equal footing with those of the 1980s. Individual clubs come under scrutiny — their formation, allegiances, and sometimes their demise. The special contributions of officials, administrators, coaches, and umpires are also examined.

With contributions by Jack Lee and Bob Messenger, Dave Clement and edited by Ray Jordan.

Over 250 superb pictures, many in colour.
