In October last year a Barrie Robran biography was published. Written by lifelong North Adelaide fan Bruce Pointon, the book was self published and self marketed, and thus was not available in mainstream retail bookshops. A look at Melbourne Sports Books' website however shows that they have some copies available. The book was launched by Darren Lehmann.
I browsed through a copy of the book when I visited the MCG library in June, and copied down Robran's stats from the back of the book. So for those of you who haven't seen the book, or aren't willing to part with $75 to buy a copy from the author, (or $175 for a deluxe edition, or $295 for an executive edition) I thought I would post Robran's footy stats here.
Kicks, marks and handballs were not recorded for the first five rounds of 1967.
