Nothing too out of the ordinary here; Short footballing biographies of the 50 footballers the authors considered the best of the past 50 years (or at least from 1976, when "Football's 50 Greatest" was published.

The usual suspects are included; Ted Whitten was ranked no. 1, while Haydn Bunton and Laurie Nash make the top ten, and Lou Richards rounds out the book at 50. The main criticism of the book though is that it is very VFL-centric; no South Australian (eg. Bob Quinn or Ken Farmer) or Western Australians make the cut, unless they played in the VFL (Polly Farmer makes an appearance). Still, worth a thumb through to see if there any players you didn't know. ( )
