[ronnit]

i had a bit of a look ay the cards yesterday...i certainly have a few! i have quite afew richmond ones that are very old. i also have a lot of the series that is mentioned on the home page of carnegie collectibles..the richmond ones i have are very very old. a lot of these cards are very early 1900s. they were collected by my pa who died in 1967 aged about 65 or so so he collected them as a boy and they have been sitting in their tins ever since then. i have C Backhouse
F Justins A Edmonds E Ruddock J Murdoch E Zscech A Geddes B Mc Cormack J Baggott T OHalloran R Martin ( 16) apparantly he was a rover..J Titus..G Strang ( mustve been two G Strangs i think) andanother B Mc Cormack..same player..different picture.

and a heap of others from all the clubs...

They're all our legends, Ronnit!

You haven't been reading Blast From the Past, have you?

Geoff Strang was the son of Doug and the nephew of Gordon ("Cocker").


You won't find a lot about Backhouse as most RFC histories only record the VFL/AFL days. Backhouse was our leading goalkicker in 1900 when we were VFA.

Is your Backhouse like this?
