Why We Love Footy is sports journalist Martin Blake's pick of fifty of the greatest moments in Australian Rules football, drawn from more than forty years of following the game.
These are the moments fans still talk about: Jesaulenko's screamer, Plugger's 1300th goal, Nicky Winmar's stand against racism, Nick Riewoldt's crazy-brave mark, the breaking of the Colliwobbles, the rise of the AFLW. Some are pure footy, some reach well beyond the game, and all of them are the kind of thing you remember exactly where you were for.
A book for the true footy fan, and a good one for Father's Day.
'Stories drawn from the very soul of football and written from the heart.' Gerard Whateley
'To capture why we love footy you need a great writer, and Martin Blake is certainly that.' William McInnes
