I was sifting through some of my Nanna's old photos and found these two:



Anyone what year these were. I gather from the jumpers it is anywhere between 1933-56

Just showed my old man who's 70 and been following Saints all his life. He didn't recognise them but reckons they are from 1930's, (when my late grandfather was on the committee). Sorry couldn't help. Interesting though...should send this through to the club and see what Russell Holmesby might know....

I'm sure the club would love to see you drop into the museum (they have old photos that you can compare faces with).

It's located at Moorabbin (the old Saints ground). Monday-Friday 10:30am-3:30pm. If they don't have the right photos, they'll probably look into it for you.

You might also touch bases with the guy who was doing a fair bit of digging in this thread:
