Wondering if you guys could help...

[GOALden Hawk]

Hey I figured what better place to ask this question then the Fitzroy board. I'm sure most of you know the book Fitzroy by Dyson Hore-Lacey, and what a fantastic read it is too.

Anyway, was just wondering if anyone here knew anywhere I could get a print of the picture on the front cover? You know the one where the lion is on the crucifix been shot by Ross Oakley?

I'd especially like to get a copy of the picture without the football covering Ross the Toss's face. I'm after it cause I want it to get it framed with a little plaque and have it hanging in the pool room at home (a bit like the castle!)

If anyone here could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!

I dont know............maybe you could try:
Lions Publications
PO BOX 336
Fitzroy 3065

They published the book. If you find out let us know here at the FFC board as I am sure like myself there are others who would like a copy as well

I did send a letter to that address a couple of months ago...and am yet to receive a reply I was thinking if no one here knows I might try and ring Dyson Hore-Lacey (he still works a lawyer doesn't he) and find out where he got it from.

Or lob at the Reds game v UHSOB (about 3 or 4 weeks away) at Brunswick Street Oval, where Dyson is meant to be attending a luncheon, and corner him then ...

Hore-Lacy's work phone no is 9225 7205.

Try Colin Hobbs at edassist@edassist.com.au he had something to do with the publishing

Yep, Fitzroy had the same trouble with Ross Oakley that TISM had with Ken Done!

I've got the recalled TISM cover, just wish I had the recalled FITZROY cover ...

Tha recalled TISM cover is worth a few bob I reckon. Saw one at Greville records 5 years or so ago and they wanted something like $60 for it.

(hiyas all again, back from my trip to Inglewood).

Yeah it probably would be. Also, very funny replacement cover, with the tearing up of the cover

The original publicity sheets (advertising the book) that were sent out to FFC members were without the footy.

Ahh ... then I'd probably have one!
