Description The show is, and always has been, aimed at promoting local Australian Rules football in an entertaining, informative and light-hearted format. Our passionate team of volunteer presenters have a shared belief in the values that sport can instill in us all and the benefits of involvement in our local communities. We’re not about controversy or grubby headlines, but simply the positive promotion of our great national game. And we love to spotlight the wonderful people, both on and off the field, who make it all possible. The Local Footy Show, while keeping viewers informed of the latest results and standings in local leagues, will endeavour to provide informative segments to cover the behind-the-scenes stories, the people and the history of our great game at grassroots level. With Daz, Benny and Kev we cover local Australian Rules football around Victoria. Impressum Contact us at: E mail: feedback@localfootyshow.com.au Phone: 9547 0909 P.O.

This is a brilliant read covering not only the fascinating life of Freddie and how he impacted the V.F.A. in a sensational manner but also the other main players from Phil Gibbs at channel 0's involvement in shaping the V.F.A. to his old team mate the late E.J.Whitten, his family, friends and many more legends of the game. I found Paul Amy's book a real page turner naturally because I'm bonkers about V.F.A. history of course, though also about all the Melbourne links Freddie has had over the years. If I was a clever writer I would give this book a much better detailed rap, though all I can say this is a magnificent read for all footy lovers and it gives you a real insight into an era that has now unfortunately gone for good, Paul is a great writer and has really brought Freddie's story to life and for me personally even though Fred went off the rails and hasn't changed my view on him being one of my footy heroes, I couldn't help but have empathy for him and got a real sense he is a gentle giant that wouldn't intentionally hurt a fly. Unfortunately the drugs got the better of him, but his survived all that and I wish him all the best with his future endeavours. Who wouldn't want to have a beer with Fred in full flight telling his hilarious stories or seeing him at a sportsmen's night! You don't get many characters like Fred anymore unfortunately and if they're are? They're simply not allowed to be!!! Well done again on the Fab Freddie book to Paul Amy, I have absolutely loved reading all about the great man. *Also congratulations to Fred Cook on being the greatest player in V.F.A history! Only a matter of time before his added to the Australian Football Hall of Fame! Cheers Gezza Please click the below link to order your copy before the first print runs out.
