1916
South on their way to their 1st ever Premiership against a previously dominant Old Easts,…
Even in 1922,when the Perth Population was around 300k,they still managed to get to the game,probably in their Penny Farthing’s,and attract more than 8000 through the turnstiles.
That is because the Royals were in the middle of their record Premiership streak.
5 from 1919 to 1923 plus 1926 and 1927
West Perth,East Fremantle played that day.
It would have been a great time,wearing the Top hat and sporting the twirly moustache,to be a Royals supporter back then OTO.
The Great Phil Matson,7 Premierships as East Perth Coach.
Those who know East Perth better,know the breakdown as Captain/Coach or simply Coach,but great record all the same.
3 Premierships as a Subiaco Player.
A near Olympian as a Swimmer,where circumstances rather than ability got in his way,to go to London for the IV Olympiad.
A Hall of Fame Position in the Australian Rules Hall of Fame and of course in the WAFL Hall of Fame.
The potential for much more was there,before he was taken far too early.
lucky, any time is a great time to be Royals supporter, except when we lose of course
Think we can all say that with our Loyalties,…
Lovely looking bike,but I’d be lucky to stay on,after 1 second,…
