Old Footy Records Digitized

[sross]

The State Library has been digitising football records as far back as 1912. Obviously not every game is there for every round but with a bit of searching you can find North ones.

Here is the link to North's first game in the VFL in 1925. The teams are in the midddle pages (16-17)

Here is a link to the whole collection

This is unreal! Great resource.

I used to collect these as a kid.

I am trying to get the search function sorted out, but will spend some time looking up old matches I went to.

Cheers

Thanks. I have a family member who played for North in the late 40s. Hopefully will be able to locate the relevant records.

Thanks very much for that link & great job SLV. Am going to waste some serious hours wallowing in nostalgia.

Congrats to the Victorian State Library for instigating the project, it's always good to see Libraries doing things like this, because it makes history available to all.
You could (happily) spend the rest of your life going through them all.

"If 'nervy' or 'run down" try the Stout." Magnificent.

"If 'nervy' or 'run down" try the Stout."

dont mind if i do.

looking through all those footy records, funny that advertising has changed so much over the years.

No shortage of alcohol or tobacco advertising back then, really makes me wanna break out a big Cuban and chase it down with a couple of long necks.
