THE PORT ADELAIDE Football Club has an enviable and unrivalled history of success, and members and supporters can now own their own piece of that history.
The Port Adelaide Football Club Archives Collection limited edition piece has arrived in store at the Port Store, with a limited number remaining after unprecedented pre-sales.
Pre-sales of the limited-edition Archives Collection passed the 1000 mark to surpass the orders taken for similar commemorative books produced by English Premier League giants Liverpool and Arsenal and AFL counterparts Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton, Melbourne and Richmond.
The limited-edition Archives Collection gives members and supporters rare insight into the club's storied history, as the Port Adelaide Football Club History Committee, along with key staff, worked tirelessly to put together a piece that encapsulates every element of the club's rich past.
The collection gives never before seen access to the moments in time that made Port Adelaide Australia's most decorated football club and includes rare photographs, profiles of star players from the club’s 150-year history, and unseen lift out memorabilia including replica player medals, premiership cards, Fos Williams’ coaching notes and so much more.
While the impact of COVID-19 meant there was a delay with the arrival of the collection, those who pre-ordered have started receiving their copies and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
