Follow the Dream: The Polly Farmer Story

Player. Revolutionary. Legend.

Before Gary ‘God’ Ablett, Tony ‘Plugger’ Lockett and Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin, there was Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer. A footballing legend who revolutionised the game.

This captivating biography recounts his life, from his humble beginnings in North Fremantle; across the 356 football games he played over 19 seasons, more than anyone else in football history at the time; and his enduring legacy in the Polly Farmer Foundation, created to empower and enrich the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across Australia.

Younger readers will enjoy learning some fun, quirky facts and raw football statistics while reading about the Great Polly Farmer. Follow the Dream is the first book in the ‘Legends’ series, introducing big stories for young readers.
