Almanac Books: Former Swans Chairman Richard Colless and True Believers

Former Sydney Swans Chairman Richard Colless recently launched Jan Courtin’s book, My Lifelong Love Affair with the Swans at the SCG.

 

The Swans filmed his speech and it is worth a good look at, not just because he talks about Jan and the Footy Almanac but he discusses the value of true believers to the Football community and the AFL.

 

 

You can also read Keiran Croker’s review of Jan’s book here

 

Jan was also interviewed by Wendy Harmer on local ABC Radio 702, this is also available by clicking here.

  3. Many thanks for putting Richard’s speech up on the site. He is such a sincere person, and I will always be indebted to him, not just from a personal point of view, but from the Club’s perspective. As I said in the book “he’s known as our saviour”!
