Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. The first comprehensive history of football at the University of Melbourne. Melbourne University Football Club was founded in 1859. Illustrated with b&w photographs. Foreword by David Parkin. Includes endnotes, bibliography, appendixes, plus index of names. "The five authors, all experts in the field, have researched consecutive periods of the long history of the club, and have looked at the circumstances, events, players and personalities behind the fortunes of the teams and the evolution of the club. The appendixes documenting honours and achievements are a who's who of both football and the community in general. Black & Blue is the first comprehensive history of football at the University of Melbourne, and one of the few histories of any club spanning such a long period of time. It presents a fascinating and entertaining tapestry of change and illustrates the way Australian football, the university and its sporting life has adapted itself to social and cultural evolution over the years.

The club achieved prominence by being a member of the game's most elite competition in the early 20th century, the Victorian Football League (the forerunner of the Australian Football League) between 1908 and 1914. Although there are no records of its exact formation, University's first recorded match took place in the same month that the Castlemaine Football Club was formed making it likely that University is the second oldest club in Australia after Melbourne."
