SOUTH AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE FOOTBALL ALBUM from 1957 (complete)

Sturt Annual Reports 1937, 1945, 1947, 1949, 1950-1953, 1955-1985

Sturt lace-up guernsey from the 1960s or 1970s, haven't dated it... plus there's a bunch of other things. I've got SANFL record books from the 1960s and 1970s and some budgets from as far back as 1947.

... Sturt guernsey and t-shirt signed by the 2002 premiership team.

I'm still hunting a Sturt mascot and a 1980s "Double Blues" scarf... I'd pay good money for them!

csbowes - are you referring to a mascot similar to the one in your avatar ?

One on the left or right?

[Bluedemon]

i have the 2002 SANFL Grand Final Budget and a signed poster of all the Sturt players that played in the same Grand Final

Yeah I thought you found that prized possession?

I'm still looking for a Panthers mascot (Croner brand, like the one csbowes has in his avatar) to complete my set - not sure what I'll do with them but the hunt has been fun.

Fave item is my framed sturt lace up signed by surviving Magarey medallists from Halbert (61) to Crane (08)

[Goat Herder]

* A copy of 'Dynasty', signed by the great man, Fos Williams himself, not long before his passing.
* My own autograph books, including the likes of R.Ebert, B.Cunningham, G.Phillips, T.Sorrell, D.Granger, M.Faletic, A.Giles, K.Kinnear, I.Eckermann, P.Hofner, T.Evans + more.
* My laminated photo of Grave Danger flattening Studley Cornes with a no-look left hook.

[Leaping Lindner]

Not quite my most treasured SANFL collectable but I picked this up on a recent trip back to Adelaide at At The Toss Of A Coin and it made a very nice birthday present to myself (this and Jimmy's third William ). I hadn't seen a North one of these since I was in Grade 3 and I was 8

Is that so you can move them about depending on ladder positions?

[schimma]

at the moment it will be my 2011 premiership stubbie holder and t shirt

but do have a few old west torrens lace up gurnseys and a lindsey head framed photo.

LOL! After getting the Pecker and Eagle off the shelf after the GF to visually explain to my 5 year old how a hybrid is formed (hey, I kept it clean!) Mrs ZZ and I got to talking about the premiership ladder idea. Well actually, I was talking. She was just muttering something, but I'm sure it was supportive

[Strawb]

A signed West Adelaide football from a home game against Port 21/5/05. Holds more memories to me than anyone could imagine. It is a game ball and it will stay in the cabinet where it was put after that weekend.

[Sky Pilot]

two copies of the Advertiser or Sunday Mail lift out after Lindsay Head played his last game (at Norwood Oval). A budget that I inherited from my mother who went to school with the Hank Brothers, it is signed by all three. A 1978/79 Torrens guernsey (No.31 I think) worn by Craig someone, who crossed from Glenelg after Cornes developed an unhealthy interest in his wife at the time. A tee shirt with No.11 on it and signed by the Weed in 1993.
Things I'd like to have include Brian Mulvihill's form guide he used to keep in his sock and Glen Pill's comb that also used to reside in his sock.

A few of my mates all bandied together and grabbed me both the Norwood home and clash guernsey, had them both signed by all the squad, then nicely framed up earlier this year.

Was most likely my pride and joy regardless of whether we'd won the flag or not, but it's nice not to have to find out.

One on the left or right?

the 1 on the left is a mascot, the 1 on the right is a muppet.

Craig Marriott is the player. The one who kicked it to Cornes to take that hanger in the 73 GF

Yeah that's it. Thanks mate. He gave me the guernsey out of the blue after I mentioned I'd like to have one.
