This is an outstanding piece of video making, weaving a story, great background sounds to build emotion, and with rare colour footage of old Serg.

I may have shed a tear or two.

What a legacy.

Deserves it's own thread....................just in case we've forgotten.

 

[LCBlues95]

I hope Jack doesn't see it though, That added pressure from that superb video, would be overwhelming

 

[tipstar]

Goosebumps....

 

[Bic]

Literally goosebumps.

Make sure you all sign up for next year!

 

[Faz 2000]

Can I get adopted as a Silvagni?

 

[zeeCFC]

He walked the premiership cup onto the field in our last game at Princes Park? Never knew that, amazing family and legacy.

 

[FootyGeek]

I was expecting the OP to reference this video.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Watch our membership numbers go up...

Papa Homer didn't come to one game this year but * he's pumped to see another Silvagni.

Unbelievably I shed a few tears also - Just took me back to my childhood when Silvagni was my favourite player and how he would absolutely save games for us.

 

[jezzajay]

lots to love about this...i watched this last night just before i went to bed...certainly brought back that old carlton feeling of tradition and success.
no pressure jack, but gee it would be great to see you regularly playing in dark navy...

 

[Prem17]

I smiled like a little kid at Christmas all the way through that.
SOS was my favourite player. I am glad to be old enough to be able to witness at least 2 generations of Silvagni's.
I am PROUD TO BE CARLTON!

(Edit - and as I've probably mentioned a million times already, my youngest son shares SOS birthday. Actually, my oldest/other son also shares a birthday with a player that played 184 games for the club but he high-tailed it, so it doesn't count anymore! F... I love Carlton!!!!!)

Dear God! I like to consider myself a "hard man", but a tear actually ran down my face watching that. That is amazing!


Ps. Jack must feel like the act that had to follow the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show...

Serge was my Grandpa's favourite player. This stirring, moving and beautifully edited video is the first footage I've ever seen of Serge in his playing days.
What a legacy. Got sentimental watching highlights of SOS. Such a talented and humble champion.
So thrilled that Jack is following the tradition that his Nonno started.
Hope Silvagni Jnr is given the time and space to become his own man and create his own history.

 

[Blue Pulse]

If Jack ends up with half the accolades that his father did, it is still a bloody good career.

They'll give him the best chance possible.
He won't get preferential treatment, so he will be one of the boys, and he will be given time as he is bottom age and skinny.
To be honest, he could well play VFL ressies next year.
And that'd be fine.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Hope he chucks the long sleeves on.

 

[lukep_86]

Great video..gave me goosebumps in parts. Actually made me want to go have a kick right now and has me wishing footy was back tomorrow.

 

[BALKAN]

No goosebumps here. Am I dead inside?

There's a good chance you are.

You may need therapy. Here are some suggestions.

 

[AceAndy]

What a great clip

Anyone know who is the narrator is ? Sounds a bit familiar but just cant place him.

It wasn't til I watched that video til I realised that the entire Italian population of 60 million followed Carlton because of Serge...

 

[Prem17]

Nah - let him be his own player.
Unless he grows a bit he won't be like SOS anyway, he'll be more like Darling, Gunston but with the ability to play back as well.
Just great to have him, no matter where he plays or what number he has, etc
