ATTENTION: ALL MELBOURNE DEMONS SUPPORTERS

My name is Angel Fernandez and I just wanted all Melbourne FC supporters (who might also be Sturt supporters) to know of a book I've just released about the Sturt Football Club called THE OLD DOUBLE BLUES - Celebrating the men of Sturt.

Of particular interest to Demons supporters (that's why I'm posting here) are the chapters on Gary Hardeman, Todd Viney, Jay Viney, Phil Carman, John Tilbrook, Neil Craig, and Peter Yeo who all passed through your great club at different times.

The book is a hardcover, large format, near-700-page coffee table-style book (see attached photo) which individually profiles over 100 of the greatest names and identities from Sturt’s famous football history. Over the course of six years (I began writing the book in 2009) I interviewed 120 individuals and compiled arguably the greatest single collection of oral histories from the players, coaches and administrators who, collectively, have made the Double Blues one of the most loved and revered football teams in Australia.

I'm not sure how many Demons supporters out there might also be Sturt supporters but even if you're not, if you're just a football tragic, then this book is for you. The book is full of stories, memories, anecdotes and recollections from Sturt's greatest champions, all presented in their own captivating words.

Presently, a gentleman named Santo Caruso at Melbourne Sports Books (51 Brunswick Road, Brunswick East, Tel: 0396621085) is kindly acting as my Melbourne distributor for anyone who might be interested in snaring a copy (check the attached link). The book is $65.00. http://melbourne-sports-books.myshopify.com/products/the-old-double-blues-celebrating-the-men-of-sturt

If anyone is interested in some more particulars about the book please feel free to PM me.

Thanks for reading everyone and good luck to the mighty D's for the rest of the season.

Angel

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
