HEART & SOUL - A TRIBUTE TO THE GAME & ITS PEOPLE -SHAW

Robert Shaw was raised in a Tasmanian football family.  After a lifelong association with the game as a player and coach at the highest levels, Robert has produced a 'labour of love', a passionate tribute to the unsung heroes and 'grassroots' of Aussie Rules.

This book is brimful of interviews with the game's great characters and stories of footy's legends and their deeds:

• The Fitzroy property stewards who hid the 1944 flag so it wouldn't go to Brisbane.
• What Michael Long and Dean Wallis told their teammates behind closed doors before the 2001 Grand Final v Brisbane
• The young prospector who carried a gun to guard his gold and went on to become a VFL star
• The mean streets of Collingwood and Fitzroy
• The toughest league of them all on the West Coast of Tasmania where football is played on the gravel.
• The wharfies of Port Adeliade
• The champion player who stayed loyal to his club for over 200 games without ever playing a final
• Shaw shares his heartache as his club of birth, Sandy Bay F.C. plays it last game

And so much more.......

This is a real Australian story about an Australian family......the football family....

This large 324 page softcover is illustrated with colour and black and white photographs.  There are two very light creases to spine and the lightest of edgewear, but it is otherwise in an excellent, tight, clean condition inside and out.  A great read for the footie fan at a great price!
