You bloody beauty

Everyone

Go to the Fitzroy website (www.fitzroyfc.com.au) and as Molly Meldrum used to say "do yourself a favour".

Download our club song and listen to it as load as your computer will allow.

Then let the memories start flowing!!!

I don't own either a record player or the club song, and never thought I would hear the song again.

Sound quality is as good as it was at the Junction Oval, and to me there is no better way to hear the song!!!

Gee the AFL have a lot to answer for taking my bloody club away, but try as they will they can't take away my memories.

I don't know though, I reckon that Jackson and his mates are trying to work out a way that they can remove us from everyone's memory.

Thanks, Winston!

That is the first time I have heard that song since the last Coburg-Fitzroy lions match.

You can also download it from www.audiogalaxy.com/ although, you also have to download their file-share program (just be careful of some of the other things it tries to get you to download as well).

It's actually a pretty good site for songs of all kinds - rare and popular - right across the music spectrum - although, I couldn't find any earlier version of the Roys song (I believe their are earlier, or differing versions of the song, that were recorded), and likewise, it didn't have 'The Football Song', which was the b-side, at one stage to footy songs, when they were still on vinyl.
