The Prime Minister, Mr. John Curtin (arrow and inset) as Brunswick footballer 37 years ago, age of 20. This is a group photograph of the 1905 Brunswick (Victorian Football Association) team, which included such noted players as Dick Casey (captain), Bones Clements and Henry Chase. In those days football uniforms lacked the modern smartness and trim fit: there were lace-up guernseys and long knickers, and many, like John Curtin, sported caps. As half-forward in 1904-5 Brunswick teams, he showed plenty of dash and skill, fitting neatly into the Black-and-White combination. Mr. Curtin also played cricket for Brunswick. In recent years he has attended cricket and football matches at Brunswick. October 19, 1947.
