The Sandover Medal men : a history of Western… door Alan East
Signed by 20 Sandover Medal winners including Merv McIntosh, Bill Walker,Graham Farmer, Barry Cable, John Todd, Steve Marsh and Haydn Bunton Jnr
A beautifully presented record of all the winners of the Sandover Medal, Western Australia's most significant individual football player award. The period covered is from 1931 until 2005. An introduction describes how the Sandover Medal began, its connection to the Sandover family, and includes a profile of George Blurton who won the Cookson Medal in 1915, a predecessor to the Sandover award.
A very comprehensive record of 20th century rural football in Western Australia. The four main sections of this work are an administrative history, pp. 3-50, country championships and carnivals, pp 66-142, biographies of champion players, pp. 143-181, and brief histories of 30 leagues and associations, pp. 182-361. This is not a history with a narrative structure and set of themes which are explored. It is however a very useful reference book providing records, biographical portraits and outlines of the the growth, development, and amalgamations of the various country competitions.
There are also stories, anecdotes and recollections. There are ample black and white photos, and an index. The editor is Alan East but much of the book has been compiled by a team of noted country football administrators led by Bud Byfield. There is a brief section on Women in football with a brief mention of of Catherine Vanderweide, the first female football league president in WA. Some Aboriginal star players are given biographical profiles in a separate section. Overall a very attractively designed publication which will be an essential reference book for Western Australian football history.
