Description
Carl Becker's chronicle of these early teams captures the spirit of a sport just coming into its own - before the rules were formalized and when the promise of success seemed just within reach. Players played "for the crowd, " spending nights on the bus, scrimmaging in roadside fields, enduring mud, disappointment, humiliation, and sometimes, triumph. Occasionally there was a band, and always a reporter. As Home and Away follows the unique story of these fine, determined teams. It evokes the vibrant spirit of the era itself.
