Each day examples of sports news from exactly 100 years ago will be reproduced in blog posts below. Most of the posts will mostly relate to soccer (or British Association football as it was sometimes know in the pre-war period) but other sports will get a look in, especially during the Australian summer.

The material will be extracted from the National Library of Australia's digital archive and other sources.
