In my privileged role as voluntary historian at the East Perth Football Club, and in collaboration with a footy mate of mine, Gary Billingham, I’ve just written The Heroes of 1972: Royals Reign Once Again, telling the story of East Perth’s drought-breaking 1972 WAFL premiership.

Welcome (back) to my website. I hope life is treating you well during these uncertain times, wherever you may be. My personal 2021 highlight has been the release of A Right Royal Hat-Trick, telling the story of East Perth’s three WAFL premierships in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

G’day friends. Whether you’re in Tammin or Tamworth, Timaru or Timbuktu, I sincerely hope that life is on the improve after the disruptions of COVID-19.

Greetings friends. While we’re a long way from having to crank up the printing presses for a reprint of Fitzroy’s Fabulous Century: The 100 Greatest Victories, sales remain steady after a spectacular start in April.

Pete’s new Fitzroy’s book – Fitzroy’s Fabulous Century: The 100 Greatest Victories, 1897-1996 isn’t about the merger but, as the title suggests, describes in detail Fitzroy’s 100 “best” wins.
