Book Synopsis Collingwood at Victoria Park by : Glenn McFarlane
Download or read book Collingwood at Victoria Park written by Glenn McFarlane and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farewell, Victoria Park. For more than 100 years, this was the place Collingwood called home. Victoria Park, in working class, semi-industrial, inner-suburban Melbourne, was where the club played its first ever game way back in 1892. It's where legends were built and famous victories fashioned. Even now, it remains one of the most famous of all football grounds. Victoria Park's special atmosphere came from its historic roots and the black and white army of fanatical and one-eyed supporters who filled the grandstands and terraces. As a venue it was worshipped by the faithful and feared by opponents; a visiting coach once said you had not made it in football until you had succeeded against Collingwood at Victoria Park. This book commemorates 112 years of Victoria Park memories - tracing the ground's development and recalling the many magic moments and champions who graced the turf along the way. This revised edition also includes photos and recollections from the emotional day late in 1999 when we said goodbye to the ground, the pre-Grand Final training sessions of 2002 and 2003, and finally the move to the Lexus Centre in 2004.

Book excerpt: A multi-generational saga of football, love, war, forgiveness and, most critically, identityEvery year when Collingwood plays Essendon in the AFL’s annual Anzac Day match, Collingwood president Eddie McGuire carries an old horseshoe into the team’s changing rooms and passes it around. The players examine it as he relates the great footy club story behind it. It’s early in the twentieth century and Doc Seddon, a Collingwood player, introduces his childhood sweetheart, Louie, to his dashing team mate, Paddy Rowan. Paddy sweeps Louie off her feet and they marry. But war intervenes. Doc and Paddy go off to fight, leaving Louie to raise Paddy’s baby. When Paddy is killed, Doc promises that he will always look after Paddy’s wife and child. Just before the 1917 Grand Final, he sends a horseshoe back from the Somme, where he continued to serve. It brings the Magpies luck—they win.It is a lovely story. Except, of course, that fairytales didn’t come true in Collingwood, the biggest slum of Melbourne. What really happened to them is a much grittier tale.

But despite Liam's prodigious talent, he is a relative newcomer to the AFL.This book tells the incredible journey travelled by Liam, a fully initiated Warlpiri man, from the remote Aboriginal desert community of Yuendumu to the MCG, as the first of his kind to play football at an elite level.Written by the man whose family provided a home for Liam when he first moved to Melbourne, this is the story of how Liam learned about life in the 'big smoke,' his time at Collingwood and his recruitment by Jimmy Stynes and the Melbourne Football club. Along the way the book describes how the author and his family came to understand and treasure the richness of Liam's Warlpiri culture. According to Martin Flanagan, "Liam Jurrah is like no other sports story in Australia, and possibly the world, at this time."
