This book is the memoir of Kieran James, and details his
experiences as co-founder of West Perth Football Club's unofficial
cheer squad from 1984 to 1986. The book details "traditional",
"hot" support for West Perth Football Club among teenaged
supporters from middle-class and working-class backgrounds. The
book shows how, because of neo-liberal ideologies and the
corporatization of football, the new national league (the "expanded
VFL" / AFL) relegated the WAFL to a second-tier league in 1987.
This move took place over the heads of ordinary football supporters
and two WAFL club presidents. Moves to bring the game closer to the
people in 1984, such as holding the best-and-fairest award count
night at Perth Entertainment Centre, should be seen in this light.
This book will allow supporters to relive great teams, great
players, and great matches from a wonderful era in WA football
1984-86 before West Coast Eagles joined the expanded VFL.
