Port Adelaide Football Club - 1947 in Full Colour - Bob Quinn, Bob Mclean

[Port Adelaide 1870]

I've colourised this photo that represents Bob Quinn's last season at the highest level 1947. Captain of his beloved Port Adelaide.
I also have these and other clubs on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/353833738719352/
Enjoy!

That kids hat/bonnet on the left is rather odd.

That kids hat/bonnet on the left is rather odd.

I bet you it was coveted by the other kids on that bleak and dismally cold day though.

I think my favourite part is the kid on the right with glasses. Him or the bald dude, anyway.

I'm going to take a punt on the bald bloke being Alan `Bull ' Revel.

Great historical photo .
I only know bottom first left Bobby Quinn . A true legend and Big Bob McLean with the part down the middle of his hair .
Centre back balding guy looks very familiar as does far right but I can't quite put a name to them .
I'd have to dig out my hundred years of the Magpies to check lol

I am pretty sure the guy to the left of Bob Mclean is Reg Schumann (captain in 1949)
Often see him at Alberton in front of the Quinn stand in the 1990's still following the Magpies.

Port Adelaide 1870 looks like the AFL Record are using your colourized photo as part of the article on Bob Quinn as it recognizes SANFL, WAFL and Tassie footballers who served in wars for Oz.

Is the front cover photo with Bob being carried off the ground, your work as well?

 

[Port Adelaide 1870]

No they aren't, They are very similar I'm sure, but no doubt done by a Photo shop Colourist sub contractor: But Wonderful work and a beautiful tribute to ANZAC day.

Great stuff PA 1870

We have a photo of the PAFC team when they were runners up to Westies in 1946. R Quinn Captain/Coach.

Family interest being my late F in Law is in the pic.

Do you have this photo or access to it as I know the Club has it? If unavailable to you and if interested, we could bring it with us when in Adelaide.
