Aussie Rules is a celebration of the national game from before World War II (the Origins of the game), through to the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, before VFL spread national and became the AFL. This unique book showcases the very best players, the characters and the great matches. Relive all of the action and controversy with glorious black and white, sepia and rare colour photos, many of which have not been published since the years they were first taken. Respected rugby league author, collector and statistician Francis Dougherty has put together a book with over 400 rare images, insightful stories behind each photo and essential stats and trivia. The golden era of Aussie Rules comes alive again with more than 300 pages of wonderful moments in one beautiful hardcover book.
