Join Peter Bedford, winner of the 1970 Brownlow Medal and member of South Melbourne’s Team of the Century, to speak about club history and his captaincy 1973-76.
South Melbourne Football Club was officially inaugurated in June 1874, being on one of the most successful teams in the early years of Australian Rules in Victoria.
Fortunes changed for South Melbourne after the second world war. They struggled as a team and barely made the finals for many decades. Playing their last game at Lakeside Oval in 1981, the team relocated to Sydney the following year.
The Sydney Swans have won two premierships, in 2005 and 2012, and still boast a large number of loyal old South Melbourne fans among their supporters.
