Description:


Bill Dempsey is a humble achiever. He is known primarily as a champion footballer with West Perth and the Darwin Buffaloes. A premiership captain who played over 400 games in 20 seasons in Perth and the Northern Territory, and a member of the AFL's Indigenous Team of the Century, his record and his achievements compare with the very best. He is revered as a true legend at West Perth.

Bill has led a remarkable life. Born in the shadow of Japanese bombing raids in 1942. Forcibly removed from his mother after the death of his father and baby sister, he was a stolen child who never lost contact with his family and found a second family amongst his fellow inmates at the Retta Dixon Home. Brought to Perth at the age of seventeen as a 'spare wheel' to his mate Jim Anderson, he stayed on to become a football champion and a trailblazer as an Aboriginal entrepreneur throughout the 80s.

In The Boy from Birdum, Bill tells his story frankly, courageously, and with the charismatic flair of a natural-born yarn spinner.

'By contrast some books demand to be written and read...This book is one of those...Bill Dempsey writes about matters of consequence. His memory is vivid because he gives matters of importance a face...He had all the pieces a champion footballer needed to have!' — Dennis Cometti AM, Australian sports commentator, former player and coach of AFL

Good basic watch
Smaller than I expected but super nice we'll built. Offers day in English and Spanish. Stylish but simple. Easy to read the time and date.

Classy, comfortable, accurate
My previous Casio has gotten pretty beat up. So I wanted another Casio without spending a lot. I also need it do have both day and date. A metal band is a must. I sweat a lot and leather doesn’t last. The band needs to adjust perfectly to my relatively thin wrist. First, I like the style of the face - simple and easy to read. The watch isn’t real fancy which is fine with me. The band took a bit of adjusting and came out perfectly. It’s not too heavy and retains good accuracy. Can’t beat the price. Only thing I wish it had was 24 hour sub-dial instead of elapsed minutes. I think it’s a great value and a nice looking everyday watch.

Very nice watch but hands need to be larger and luminous
It’s a very nice looking watch. Band adjustment is not difficult using the tools that come with th watch- and it’s very attractive. The watch could stand to be improved by by making the Hands larger and by making them luminous. The watch is very comfortable to wear . It may be a little large for a small wrist but it’s not gigantic. I haven’t checked the accuracy but it appears that the watch doesn’t lose or gain time.

Literally just a good watch, absolutely nothing to complain about
Ive had two versions of this watch, the leather strap version and this metal version. The only weak point on my old watch was the leather strap. This thing is simple, elegant, and practical, couldn't really ask more from a watch. It holds up pretty well and doesn't scratch too easily (if you have a labor intensive job you might want a glass protector). I've had mine for a couple months now and it only has a few very faint scratches but that's just because im rough on my watches lol. I would recommend this to literally anybody

A great buy
Great value! It was listed at such a low price that I expected it to be a piece of junk, but I was wrong. It's a fine watch that really should sell for more than I paid. It looks and feels like a much more expensive watch, keeps good time, and has an easily-adjustable stainless steel band.
