One hundred years of Australian sport by M. T. Daly offers a lively, decade-by-decade tour of the nation’s sporting evolution from 1896 to 1996. This first-edition hardcover blends biography, geography and social history to show how clubs, fans and landmark events shaped Australia’s culture.

The 230-page volume is packed with rare photographs, personal anecdotes and NSW Club archives, making it a go-to reference for historians and sports buffs alike. Daly’s engaging narrative keeps the pace brisk while still delivering the facts collectors expect from a serious Australian sport history.

This copy is personally signed and inscribed by the author, a bonus for autograph hunters. A few light cover scuffs and a tiny hole on the rear blank page are noted, yet pages remain crisp, unmarked and firmly bound—ready for display or reading.

Ideal as a gift or centrepiece for any Australiana, sporting or cultural-studies shelf, the 1996 first printing is becoming scarce. Secure this signed piece of Australian sporting heritage while it’s available.
