At Totty North we had a woolly dark maroon jumper with yellow cuffs & collar. In 1976 we all had to take our white shorts in & our art teacher dyed them yellow & sewed maroon strips along the sides. They looked flash. I can't believe colour TV never picked them up!
We also played against Sunshine East who wore green & white.
Yes, great days!!

Sunshine (VFA) had junior sides in the FDL in those days, and their colours were navy with the white yolk/V.

Is that possibly the club you were thinking of?


Oh, and Peter Welsh played juniors with F&Y. Dominated.

Hi Devina, I played at F&Y Socials but in the 60s and 70s so I cannot remember your dad unfortunately. A group of former players / administrators have an annual reunion at the Western Bulldogs FC and I know they have some old photos and details of players so here are their details below. Good luck and I wish your dad well.

If you or someone you know was associated with the F&Y Socials, please contact Barry Bennett on 0400-848-923 or Max Linehan on 0418-315-182

I thought they were green with a yellow V, but it was a long time ago?

My uncles played there and with Welsh.

Can only go by what the old man says but he enjoyed watching the club when it was around.

I played with Sunshine U16s, and F&Y beat us in a preliminary final. We were 9 points down at 3/4 time and kicking with a gale in the last quarter (at Whitten Oval). Socials played like madmen, with Welsh marking everything. The margin was still 9 points at game's end!
Still having therapy over that one! lol

GetDimmaBack I'll try and remember the next time I see my uncles and ask if they played in that particular game. Don't see them that often these days however, like once-twice a year if I'm lucky.

Maybe you could also ask them if they remember getting smashed by Spotswood in the GF. They were the best side all year. About '67, IIRC.
Richard Radziminski played for Spotty - the craziest dude I ever played against! By a mile.
