Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[blueycarlton]

80 years ago today, 60,000 people squeezed into Princes Park to watch Carlton defeat South Melbourne in the famous 'bloodbath' grand final.

Do you have any stories handed down from relatives who attended on the day?

My dad, just of the Army, took a Gladstone bag with some bottles
of beer. He said the standing room was so tightly packed, that he couldn't bend down to get to the bag.
