Confederation in that year. Football has shown that it can bring
the entire nation together in international competition. Football
has a long and fascinating history in Australia stretching back to
the mid-19th century. It is a rich history, closely related to one
of the main themes in this country's development: immigration and
the problems of integration of successive generations into a
rapidly evolving national identity. This history tells the story of
the game in a lively and provocative account. Roy Hay and Bill
Murray are respected academics, historians and lovers of the game
they have followed throughout their lives.
