Description : |
Portrait of Sammy Lunn, a well known supporter of the Port Adelaide Football Club, holding his magpie flag and a football. He was also a prominent fund raiser and worker for the troops during World War I. Further information provided by Mr Ray Hill, January 2012: In 1910 Port Adelaide's Sampson 'Shine' Hosking won the Magarey Medal for the best and fairest player in the South Australian Football League (later to be known as the South Australian National Football League). He also won his club's best and fairest award that year. Full-forward, Frank Hansen, topped the League's goalkicking. Port Adelaide won the Premiership in 1910 and went on to defeat the Victorian Football League premiers, Collingwood, to be hailed the 'Champions of Australia'. |
