Few cities have a closer connection to their footy team than Canberra and the Raiders.
So many stories, so many games, so many legends, so much green - so it's not surprising that the club's important role in Canberra's sporting history will soon be recorded for posterity.
The Canberra Raiders Club has just secured an ACT Government Heritage Grant for $15,330 to film and record 10 players and officials connected to the club in their own words.
The 10 will be interviewed by club historian David Headon and their stories, boots and all, will be archived in the ACT Heritage Library.
