From Plough Lane to Bob Jane Stadium

Here's a nice piece. Once upon a time (OK for 3 weeks in 2007), I edited and produced a matchday program for South Melbourne. I had plans, I had vision, I had a dream. Unfortunately South had no money and it fell by the wayside.

One of the initiatives I introduced was to get guest writers to write a match report. The one below was written by Jason Steger, books editor of the Age and all-round football supporter. It is a wistful piece that pays homage to grass roots football. Click on the image to make it readable.

If anybody wants PDFs of the programs I produced I'm happy to email them to you. You'll find me via google.
