Recenzii

""Even though his playing days were over before the 1970s golden age of australian football nostalgia, the greatness of Graham Polly Farmer is beyond dispute. he was among the first set of legends inaugu- rated into the aFl hall of Fame; he is widely considered to be one of the two best ruckmen ever, as well as the finest aboriginal player in australian football history. This revised biography, which was first published in 1994, recounts a sporting life that truly broke the mould. in many respects, Farmer heralded the coming of modern football the athletic ability he brought to his position, the control he exerted on the game, his then-innovative use of the handball. But he played through a period which was radically different to the aFl landscape we know one can only imagine the even higher regard Farmer would be held in if he had spent more than six seasons, a mere third of his 19-year career, in victoria."" - Jeff Centenera
