Werribee Football Club Media Manager Kevin Hillier is the author of a new footy book on the market called `Like Father Like Son'. The book released this week by Pan Macmillan celebrates the wonderful tradition of fathers and sons that have played VFL/AFL football. There is a distinct Werribee connection with former Werribee coach John Murphy and a club best and fairest John Lloyd both included. Murphy was a champion with Fitzroy while his father Leo played with Hawthorn and his son Marc is currently at Carlton. John Lloyd was a football journeyman starting in the country before playing with Carlton. He won a best and fairest at Werribee in 1971 under the legendary Bruce Comben before coaching Braybrook in the Footscray District League to three flags. The book also features The Whittens, David and Luke Darcy plus other famous football names like Cloke, Bourke, Watson and Ablett. Like Father Like Son is available from all book stores.
