The first book on this famous club since 1986, ‘Flags, Spoons and Knives’ is a unique look at the West Adelaide Football Club, celebrating its rich history and its wonderful players. 

It’s a ‘behind the scenes’ view of a club that has reached the heights, known the pain of defeat and lived through the intrigues and personalities that have made it so fascinating. It explores the very being of the club and the events that have shaped it and will not only be an essential keepsake for Bloods’ supporters, but a great read for all lovers of football.

Get behind the scenes of the Neil Kerley sacking, what happened when Tony Modra first arrived a Richmond Oval, who was West’s most famous player, which household name nearly coached us in the 70’s, how was the 2015 premiership won and the facts behind the famous events of a great club.

You’ll be irresistibly drawn to its history and personalities. West Adelaide can’t point to as many premierships as some clubs and has sometimes teetered on the brink of extinction, but it is alive, it is fascinating, it is frustrating and glorious all at once, but above all, it is a club that is always vibrant, with all the flaws of life and the passion of generations of believers.

This is a major work, with dozens of great photographs and will be an indispensable addition to the library of all football followers.
