Hammersley’s role in particular is explored and revealed as it has been overshadowed by Wills and Harrison. Other people such as James Thompson and Jerry Bryant are also recognised in this very handsome scholarly study.

An invaluable contribution to the interpretation of the origins of Australian Rules football. Hibbin's research is meticulous and ground-breaking. Several historical and biographical events are uncovered and used to make new interpretations about the early development of the game. The contributions of Wills and Harrison are compared with lesser known figures such as W.J. Hammersley, J.B. Thompson and Thomas Smith, who as Hibbins persuasively argues deserve greater recognition.

Essential reading for students of the game's origins.… (lisätietoja)
