In this fourth episode of the Stray Dog Footy podcast I try to share the remarkable life of Tom Wills, one of the principle inventors of Australian Rules Footy. I also do some housekeeping, and send out some thanks and congratulations. I even try my hand at playing the banjo... Apologies.
Note: Around the 10:20 mark, I mistakenly used the year 1958 a few times when I obviously should have said 1858. A glaring error, to be sure, but not as bad as trying to play banjo!
