 VERY OLD STUFF! |
 Request for Old Jumpers
As you can see from the official CFC website, there are moves afoot at the club to properly preserve the culture and heritage of the physical memorabilia of the Carlton Football Club.
Our first request is for guernseys. Not just any guernsey something pre 1940, the ultimate would be a pre 1909 guernsey, those with the chamois shoulders.
 All we want to know is if they are out there. If you remember seeing an old jumper in your grandad's place or anywhere let us know. Contact admin@blueseum.org if you have seen anything like this anywhere.

Past Player of the Week |
IAN COLLINS
A courageous, uncompromising back pocket in the Blues' 1968 Premiership team, Ian Collins went on to serve as Secretary-Manager and President through some of Carlton Football Club's most successful, and later, most turbulent times.
After rejecting overtures from St Kilda and Melbourne, Collins arrived at Princes Park in 1960. He was widely regarded as a ready-made league footballer following an impressive junior career at his home town of Sale in Gippsland, from where he had starred in various representative teams as a quick and skilful centreman or half-forward flanker. At 175 cm and 74 kg he struggled at first to cement a regular place in a team not short of smaller, pacey types, until he was tried as a back pocket in his second year. Almost immediately, he made the last line his territory, and began forging a reputation as a courageous and difficult opponent in the number 19 guernsey.

| Pic of the Week - Redmond's Gallery |
In amongst the pictures of glory which are plentiful in the Blueseum, we often find little treasures that show a bit more of the reality - from injuries, to disappointment, to great action shots...and then to some magic off the field memories
This picture is taken from the Image Gallery of Bill Redmond, a past player whose family donated a number of images to the Blueseum. This shot is from the 1947 end of season trip to Adelaide, and is a great addition to the site...
