A call for bush footy yarns

AS you've seen with the excerpts we've published on australianrules.com.au Bush Legends: South Australian Country Footy Stories by Anthony Madigan and Michael Madigan is an engaging self-published book.

As SA great Graham Cornes writes in the book's 'full foreword' - "This book is a powerful social work. The stories, so painstakingly gathered, define our great game and the environment in which it flourished. It will make you laugh and it will evoke priceless memories."

And, as the story about Ross Gibbs on this site proves, you don't have to be from SA or the bush to find something of interest. There's even a photo of Tony Modra running around with the Loxton colts in 1986.

The Madigans have been so successful with Bush Legends that they're embarking on a second edition and this time they're looking for contributions.

If you have a bush footy story to tell or you would like to buy a copy of Bush Legends contact Anthony on amadigan@chariot.net.au - meanwhile watch out for a couple more yarns on australianrules.com.au in the days to come.
