Balmain's shock defeat of Souths in the 1969 Grand Final has been called the biggest boilover in rugby league history. The true story of the Tigers' upset win has remained untold for almost 50 years, so it has kept its sense of mystery. Until now ...They were coached by Leo Nosworthy, a savvy operator who'd grown up around the Balmain docks. His team was full of character and characters, but lacked big names. The star-studded Rabbitohs were the two-time defending premiers. Famous names such as Provan, Churchill, Beetson and Sattler were prominent. Shady figures with links to organised crime lurked in the background; this was Balmain in the late '60s. The relationship between the two clubs had an edge that had simmered for 60 years. Huge sums were bet on the match. Tigers players were accused of faking injury, to slow the game down. The referee's integrity was questioned.It needed a master researcher to sift through all the intrigue. Ian Heads, the author of many acclaimed sports books, trawled through archives and interviewed a vast range of participants -- players, officials, fans and media -- to discover what really happened.The memories, scrapbooks and wisdom of Nosworthy, now well into his 80s, are a treasure trove. He becomes the central character of a unique sporting fable.The Great Grand Final Heist is a classic underdog story. It reads like a thriller. There has never been a league book like it.

The Last Hurrah tells the story of Melbourne Football Club's last great Grand Final and the fall from grace that has left the club without a premiership since. From the mid 1950s, the Melbourne Football Club, led by the legendary coach Norm Smith, dominated the Victorian Football League like no other club before or since. From 1954 to 1964, the Demons competed in 11 finals series, played in eight Grand Finals, winning six. Year after year the club was able to recruit new stars, as other left or retired. The 1964 Grand Final victory, achieved after a last-minute goal by back-pocket player Neil Crompton, turned out to be not only the end of this dominant era, but also the beginning of a black hole of success for the club. In the 56 years since, Melbourne has made just two Grand Finals, both thrashings. The Last Hurrah describes the reasons why Melbourne was such a great team, and how its great coach Norm Smith was sacked - albeit briefly - the following season, leading to what many have described as the 'curse of Norm Smith'. Author, Adam Woolcock, describes, in minute detail, the events of 1964, and what has followed, a period in which Melbourne has competed in just 13 finals series, with little success.
