Back in 2010 some ultra enthusiastic fans from the club (actually two of them became Life Members in the last intake) helped produce a book called -The Bulldog Heritage. Our Brownlow Medalist from 1960 John Schultz was a leading force driving the creation of this publication and in a few weeks from now the second edition will be on the shelves.
I understand that it should be ready for Fathers Day. There are interviews with former players from the past and relatives/descendants of Footscray footballers from the "golden olden days" as in before the double event of 1924.
The title of the book is something I question because some of the players discussed e.g Dave De Coite, Joe Marmo and Arthur "Nance ' Williams played for Footscray before 'bulldogs' was ever the nickname, so The Bulldog Heritage is incorrect for these heroes from the Footscray Football Club's glory years. However I am not going to argue the merits of that here in this instance, so please buy this book, don't borrow it off your mate after he/she has read it- buy it yourself so that a 3rd edition will be able to come out in the not too distant future.
