Biography & Memoir History Sport & Recreation
Seagulls Over Williamstown by Marc Fiddian is a hardcover slice of Melbourne maritime sporting history, charting the highs and lows of the Williamstown Football Club across more than 150 years of Aussie rules. Illustrated throughout and wrapped in a bright dust jacket, this 2003 vintage title is popular with collectors of local Victorian and Australian football biographies.
What makes this copy extra special is the cluster of player signatures across the front endpaper, many annotated with their jumper numbers, plus a warm personalised inscription. The signatures appear genuine and are part of the book’s unique match-day story; a neat talking point for any fan of the Seagulls or VFA/VFL heritage.
Inside, the pages are clean and tight—no dog-ears, no smoke odours—while a couple of tiny drawn circles and a single texter mark on the index are the only minor flaws. From a smoke-free home and clearly cherished, the binding remains firm and the illustrated boards sit square beneath the protected jacket.
Whether you’re filling a sports history shelf, hunting local Williamstown memorabilia, or after an uncommon Marc Fiddian signed edition, this copy offers readable nostalgia and instant collector appeal.
