The scope of the archiving on this blog of football documents expanded beyond merely Melbourne Soccer a fair while ago now. Recently I was contacted by Greg Stock, one of the powerhouses behind the OzFootball.net treasure trove of football history. He has sent me a bunch of scans (and one lot of photocopies to scan myself) to add a whole batch of New South Wales Soccer Football Association material to add to the Yearbooks & Annuals Archive. They can also be found in the list below:
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Annual Report 1921
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Annual Report 1922
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Annual Report 1923
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Annual Report 1924
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Annual Report 1926
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Annual Report 1927
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Annual Report 1937
New South Wales Soccer Annual 1933
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Handbook 1942
New South Wales Soccer Football Association Handbook 1947
Now I've only had the time to really get much of a look at the one I scanned, the 1947 Handbook, and what a masterpiece it is. Sid Grant sure knew how to compile records, the detail is immense. There's a huge pictorial section, all well labelled. Compare it to the simple fixture list that is the 1948 VASFA Handbook provided to me by Tony Persoglia earlier this week, and, well, there is no comparison.
It's great to be able to share these with fellow researchers and fans of soccer nostalgia. Thanks Greg and Tony for your ongoing work in preserving the game's history.
