Miles Wilks has been a writer for the Carlton Football Club since 2001. His first article was on the 1970 Preliminary Final and he has since written feature articles in the official magazine of the club, Inside Carlton, and for the CFC website. Miles’ credits include feature articles on Wayne Harmes, Bernie Evans, Carlton’s greatest finals players and the 1983 Night Grand Final, but his greatest contribution to the Carlton story was his detailed book on the 1968 premiership team, Barassi’s Blues. His latest book, Champions of Carlton, was a more ambitious undertaking as it looks at the impact of a wide range of players dating from the 1930s to the 2000s.

By Miles Wilks
From the premiership stars of the 1940s and 50s to the more recent giants of the game such as Kernahan and Koutoufides, the Carlton Football Club has produced some of the greatest names in the history of Australian football.

Over 150 rarely seen images of these Carlton greats will not fail to stir the emotions. Whether it is John Nicholls with blood streaming from his face or the elation of Kernahan after he kicked THAT goal in 1987, they all reflect the depth, power and magic of the Carlton story.

Fagan's Way
Run To The Fire Updated Insights & Inspiration
By Chris McLeod, Sam Harvey
Chris Fagan is no ordinary AFL coach. He is the oldest Premiership winning coach in history; a leader who transformed the struggling Brisbane Lions into champions two years in a row.
From the grounds of Queenstown, Tasmania, to the AFL’s biggest stage for two premierships, can he make history with a ‘three-peat’? Fagan’s journey is one of resilience, belief and unwavering passion for the game.
Fagan’s Way: Run To The Fire examines the master coach’s approach to taking his players to the top, revealing his unique approach to sport and life: believe in yourself, trust in your team, endure the losses and celebrate the wins.
With insights from his players, his family, his mentors, his friends, even his rivals and Lions fans, this book uncovers the man behind the gum-chewing, boundary-pacing figure we see on game day and how he engineered Brisbane’s rise to the top of the AFL twice, and what the future holds for him and the club.

HARD - Rugby League In The 70s
By Graeme Hughes, Tony Loxley
The decade of the 70s in rugby league is today acknowledged as one of the toughest eras of the game - tough, hardened men playing a game that never let up for eighty solid minutes. Most who played rugby league in first grade within the NSWRL competition worked five days a week and did their best to get to training on time three times a week, a scenario now long lost in the game. But thats how it was: the time spent playing the game was HARD to say the least -at its worst, it was brutal beyond all comprehension. Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league great Graeme Hughes, who played throughout this era, along with Tony Loxley, Will Evans and Tony Adams, have accumulated former players memories, anecdotes and mountains of images and memorabilia that tells the tale of the 70s in rugby league exactly as it was.

How One Man Revolutionized Major League Soccer
By Luciano Wernicke
Lionel Messi is often called the best player of all time. He holds 46 titles, including one World Cup and four European Champion League titles and eight Ballon d'Ors, the highest individual honor in soccer. In 2024, he won Major League Soccer's MVP award. But who is the player behind these impressive stats? What makes Lionel Messi so great? This book takes a deep dive into Messi's background, examining his beginnings, his struggles to reach the top, and even his thoughts on his soccer career.
With Messi's arrival to Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2023, the most popular sport in the world experienced a revolution in the US. More stars from Europe, South America, and Africa followed, and the matches were soon televised on more channels and platforms than ever before. The explosive success of MLS motivated Time magazine to name Messi the greatest sports figure of 2023.
To fully understand how Messi influenced MLS, this book takes a dynamic and in-depth look into his playing history-his beginnings, his career successes, his own personal stories, as well as what other players think of Messi's career. This is the amazing story of how one of the world's greatest soccer players revolutionized MLS.

It’s a truly global league, with legions of fans in Brazil, China, Spain, Australia and South Africa. It’s not hard to see what attracts them to the sport.

Now, the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers are among the most watched sports teams in the world, and the NBA leads the way in uniting a country that’s fragmented on so many other levels.

The Ashes
A Front Row Seat To An Iconic Era of Cricket In The '60s
By Mark Browning
What if someone had dropped a hammer on the little ceramic creation and smashed The Ashes urn at Lord’s in the late 1960s? Could it have happened? It was certainly talked about. This wonderful and rich contest that began in 1877 is bigger and better today than ever. But in the 1960s as hair grew longer, skirts shortened and pop music blossomed, it was totally ‘uncool’. Yet this was entry-level Ashes cricket to passionate Test cricket fan and author Mark Browning. Growing up in the Victorian regional city of Geelong in the 1960s, he embraced The Ashes and its players when it was at its lowest ebb and then rejoiced at its renaissance in 1972, cementing a relationship that endures with undimmed passion and admiration more than half a century later.

The Bull - David Warner
Daring to Be Different
By Ken Piesse, Greg Chappell
Unveiling cricket’s greatest entertainer! The first Australian cricketer to play 100 internationals across all three levels (Tests, ODIs and T20s), David Warner is a champion of his generation; fabulous but flawed. No Australian opener in history has surpassed his rapid-fire strike rate in excess of 70 runs per 100 balls. Only one other has surpassed his aggregate of 45 centuries across all levels. Feisty, flamboyant, verbose and villainous, few have been as entertaining or as polarising as the great David Warner. The Bull is the first full-scale biography of one of Australian cricket’s champions of the generation. It features the yarns, the stats and all the fun of cricket’s greatest entertainer.
Blood on the Tracks
England in Australia: The 1974-75 Ashes
By David Tossell
Blood on the Tracks tells the thrilling and brutal story of the 1974/75 Ashes series. As the 1975 edition of the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack put it, “Never in the ninety-eight years of Test cricket have batsmen been so grievously bruised and battered by ferocious, hostile short-pitched balls as were those led conscientiously by Mike Denness.” Led by tearaway speedsters Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson, the Australian bowling attack terrorised the tourists during the six-match series – by the end of the first Test, two English batsmen had suffered broken bones. There was plenty more suffering to follow as the Aussies blitzed their way to a 4-1 victory. When Bob Dylan released his album Blood on the Tracks a few days after the Ashes had been surrendered it could have been timed deliberately to provide a future author with a book title that reflected events in Australia.
Bodyline Casualty
The Bert Oldfield Story
By Gavin Gleeson, Rick McCosker
To say former Australia Test wicket-keeper Bert Oldfield lived an extraordinary life would be an understatement: incarcerated in a dungeon in Egypt, working in a venereal disease clinic, surviving a bomb blast which killed his comrades in the First World War, defying overwhelming odds to wear the Baggy Green to become his country’s premier gloveman, being one of the first to discover a young Don Bradman; getting his skull fractured in the flashpoint of the controversial Bodyline series, touring through Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy on the eve of global conflict, enlisting again to serve his country throughout the Second World War...and save a lion from death row with half-anhour to spare...Oldfield did it all.
