My mum and her 3 sisters grew up in North Melbourne in the 40s and 50s.
My Aunty and I often message with me quizzing her about those days.
I mean to interview her one of these days, cos there’s some really cool stuff to hear.
Out of context this won’t make much sense, but this text gives a sample of those times (late 40s early 50s):
‘...Suspect he might have played for Carlton, but can’t find him there either. However, Mick Grambeau, who did play for North, was the Bro-in-law of Brian’s second wife Terry. It was a small, incestuous world in them days. The great Kenny Dean, who played the back pocket and once finished a game with TWO broken ankles, used to date Lorna Driscoll who lived across the road from us, closer to Curzon St.’
Good stuff.
