Glory & Fame

RRP $39.95

Throughout the 1970s, the Essendon Football Club was at its lowest ebb. The Bombers made just three finals appearances that decade – a huge shock to the system for a club accustomed to regular success. That all changed when Kevin Sheedy walked through the doors of Windy Hill in 1981. Glory & Fame: The Rise and Rise of The Essendon Football Club focuses on Essendon’s resurgence from its lowest ebb to become a football superpower.
