    In from the Cold: Tom Wills – A Nineteenth Century Sporting Hero By Gregory Mark de Moore A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria September 2008 i Abstract Tom Wills was the most important Australian sportsman of the mid-nineteenth century, but it is only in the first decade of the twenty-first century that he has grown in profile as a figure of cultural significance. Although Tom Wills is best recalled as the most important figure in early Australian Rules football, it was cricket that dominated his life. He rose to prominence in cricket during his time at Rugby school in England during the 1850s. When he returned to Australia he became the captain of the Victorian cricket team. On 10 July 1858 he penned what has become one of the most famous documents in Australian sporting history: a letter calling for the formation of a ‘foot- ball’ club. Only three years later his father was murdered by aborigines in central Queensland in what is recorded as the highest number of European settlers killed by aborigines in a single assault. Remarkably, only five years after his father’s murder, Tom Wills coached an aboriginal cricket team from western Victoria. Tom Wills’ life ended early, as did so many lives of colonial sportsmen, shortened by the effects of alcohol. Alcohol abuse led directly to the suicide of Wills at the age of 44 years. This thesis is the first academic attempt to uncover and then critically review some of the important parameters that shaped his life.

  • How Football Began Brings Range, Precision and Sources to Bear on the Matter
    ‘The origins of football’s many codes and their complex relationship to each other has been one of sporting history's great grey areas, dominated by hearsay and invention. No longer. Tony Collins’ cool and illuminating How Football Began brings range, precision and sources to bear on the matter. As is often the case, the truths that emerge are infinitely more interesting than the myths they dispel.’ David Goldblatt, Author of The Ball is Round: A Global History of Football and The Game of Our Lives HOW FOOTBALL BEGAN This ambitious and fascinating history considers why, in the space of sixty years between 1850 and 1910, football grew from a marginal and unorganised activity to become the dominant winter entertainment for millions of people around the world. The book explores how the world’s football codes – soccer, rugby league, rugby union, American, Australian, Canadian and Gaelic – developed as part of the commercialised leisure industry in the nineteenth century. Football, however and wherever it was played, was a product of the second industrial revolution, the rise of the mass media, and the spirit of the age of the masses. Important reading for students of sports studies, history, sociology, development and management, this book is also a valuable resource for scholars and academics involved in the study of football in all its forms, as well as an engrossing read for anyone interested in the early history of football. Tony Collins is Emeritus Professor of History in the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University, UK. His previous books include Rugby’s Great Split, Rugby League in Twentieth Century Britain, A Social History of English Rugby Union and The Oval World – each of which won the Lord Aberdare prize for sports history book of the year – as well as his global history Sport in Capitalist Society.

  • Another Look at Marn Grook1
    39 Another Look at Marn Grook1 Ruth Gooch is an independent scholar who has published an acclaimed history of French Island, a paper on the early Matthew Flinders’ charts, and an account of the Boon wurrung which compares this clan with others. A list of her publications and a description of them is on her web site, www.ruth-gooch.com. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: For the last 30 years or so, there has been discussion and dispute as to whether or not Australian Football as we know it today was originally based on an Aboriginal game of football known as Marn grook. Those who support the Marn grook argument may have been too imaginative, while those who oppose its possible influence on the beginnings of Australian Rules football may not have given sufficient consideration to that possibility. In this article I consider the evolution of the Anglo/Australian game and discuss and compare the references to Aboriginal hand-ball and football. As all of the references to Aboriginal ball games come from Anglo/Australian observers, I will particularly note the background to these references and discuss their relevance and validity. KEYWORDS: Marn grook, Aborigines, Australian Football The earliest recorded Aboriginal football games appear to have been those played by children. Pioneer William Kyle recorded in his later years that, when Aboriginal clans gathered in the area that would become Melbourne, the children played with a football made from a piece of possum 1 My grateful thanks to Dr Marie Fels who read and commented on the manuscript; it remains the case that any error of fact or interpretation is mine.
