2010 AFL Handball Championship STEELE SIDEBOTTOM 3 defeated DALE THOMAS 2 Steele Sidebottom today took out the handball competition at the launch of The Official Collingwood Illustrated Encyclopedia at Angus & Robertson’s Bourke Street store, beating teammate Dale Thomas 3-2. When asked if he was the better handballer, Sidebottom responded: “I am now.” This updated edition of the encyclopedia includes profiles of the new inductees in the club’s Hall of Fame (including the 1990 Premiership team, inducted 20 years after the match that validated it), the magic moments such as Jack Anthony’s last-gasp semi-final goal against Adelaide in 2009, and all the headline-grabbers from the last five years – including the appointment of Nathan Buckley as assistant coach for the 2010 and 2011 seasons, before taking over as coach for the following three seasons. The Official Collingwood Illustrated Encyclopedia is published by The Slattery Media Group – official publishers and photographers of the AFL – and is available from today at all good bookstores. RRP $59.95. Visit www.footybookclub.com for more information. This book is a must-have for any Collingwood fan.
