Excellent pics. It's no surprise to see a North player with the name Lindsay causing controversy over a free kick either.

1927 The season began with a bang for North. But the euphoria was to last only the first 4 rounds. After that it was all downhill.

First Round 3 v Geelong.

Lots of incidents back in day...

"Hardy Northmen" I like it. We could do with some now.

Maybe we need Teffy's crutchy push back as well.

Back in the 1960, you could get yourself a shed and a free erection in North Melbourne for a very reasonable price!

What do you know of this photo, benbanjo? It looks like the corner of Errol and Victoria circa 1954/55. The cars are parked in Victoria St. Looks like they might be an FX Holden, some sort of Austin and an ? The area looks pretty much the same today, except the garage has gone.
