Footy jumpers

Footy die-hards

Australian rules football has long been the sport of choice for country communities across the State. The case was the same around Walkaway, with most young men representing their local township on the footy field. Among them was John Criddle, one of the Walkaway Football Club’s best players in the post-war years of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Criddle grew up in the district as a farmer and brought up his own family on the farm. His wife Kath donated these jumpers to the museum when they packed up the family farm in 1998 to retire.
