Chronicles of Australian Soccer details the development of football (or soccer as it was then known) in Australia in a period where records barely existed - from 1859 to 1949.It does so within a context of Australia's geographic and cultural isolation, and the attitudes towards race and class.Finding some of these records has meant years of dedicated research to track clubs and games from every part of the country, presented in an easy-to-follow timeline.Chronicles of Australian Soccer is truly amazing in the depth and breadth of what it has unearthed and is valuable for the football anorak as well as anyone interested in how the debate about Australia's place in the world has developed. Whether a football historian or someone interested in Australia in the last half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century, this book is phenomenal in its detail and use of references.
