The Lancefield Football Club 1873-2023 edited by Fay Woodhouse (Second Hand Book)

SECOND HAND BOOK

Names of players, dates of matches, scores for the day, medals awarded, premierships won and lost – this is the 150 year history of the Lancefield Football Club.

Three Lancefield locals – Denis Graham, Shirley Kishere and John Chisholm – compiled the information contained within this book’s pages. It was a labour of love and Lancefield residents must congratulate their efforts. The life of the Lancefield Football Netball Club is told through the huge range of photographs, images, press reports and reminiscences – it is a compelling 150 year history. The raw data, woven together by editor Fay Woodhouse, brings to light stories of the first decades of football in Lancefield, the local players who went to the First World War and efforts to retain a team during hard times. Vignettes of five of Lancefield’s most famous footballers in the first decades of the twentieth century bring to life the skills of these talented men. And of course, you will read exciting stories of the Club’s more recent players and their premiership wins. Not forgetting the women – the Lancefield Ladies Basketball Team (now the Netball team) began in 1966 and is still going strong. And of course, the 150 year Romsey/Lancefield rivalry continues to this day. An entire chapter is devoted to this rivalry!

Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of action photos, team photos and more – this exciting local history book is a page-turner and a must-read for Lancefield locals and anyone interested in local history and in football.
