If Australian Rules football buried a time capsule, Kevin Sheedy's bomber jacket would be the first item placed inside.

AFL's precious artefacts also include Bob Murphy's medal, Angry Anderson's grand final Valiant, and a 1999 vintage can of Whiskas – as you'll discover in this collection of legendary true stories from Australia's favourite sport.

In Kevin Sheedy's Bomber Jacket, journalist Glen Humphries tells Aussie Rules' best yarns. This book is packed with tales of betting scandals, Ned Kelly movies, an elephant on grand final day, and much more – not to mention events that ended up changing the game as we know it.

It's perfect to pick up when your team has the bye.
