They were football heroes, men who played the game at a elite level. However, they abandoned their careers to play the greater game and, from the shores of Gallipoli to the jungles of New Guinea, made the supreme sacrifice. Here are the personal tragedies of the 115 Fallen VFL (now AFL) footballers who never returned from war - South Melbourne's Jack Turnbull never seeing his only son, of Hawthorn's Richard Pirrie be the first Australian killed in the D-Day landings, of Collingwood's Percy Rowe asking his mate to take care of his family, Ultimate Heroes, all.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 358 pp., b/w photos, index. They truly were the ultimate heroes - the 115 VFL (now AFL) footballers who never returned from war service. Now, for the first time, their stories have been told in the remarkably moving book Fallen, by football historians Jim Main and David Allen. Fallen is a magnificent tribute to the men who made the supreme sacrifice despite being football heroes. And their stories are tragic indeed. For example, South Melbourne's Jack Turnbull never saw his only son and was killed in France during World War I after yearning to see his family again. Melbourne champion Joe Pearce was killed in the Gallipoli landings and Geelong's Joe Slater, who was recently named in the Cats Team of the Century, marched into battle in WWI and was never seen again. Melbourne lost no less then four of its 1940 premiership team - Ron Barassi Snr., Harold Ball, Syd Anderson and Keith "Bluey" Truscott in World War II. Len Thomas, who resigned as captain-coach of North Melbourne to join the army, was killed during service as a commando. Seller Inventory # 4685
