Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I was also in the crowd behind the Fitzroy goals and I can STILL remember how GREAT it felt!! My brother and I ran onto the ground and into the Fitzroy rooms after the game and got the sing the song with the team!! WIll never forget this game :)
I remember going with my dad to that match when I was young. I think we only went in to watch the last quarter and remember the crowd going nuts when Roos scored and my dad throwing me in the air. My favourite footy memory.
Paul Abbott, absolute machine... 6'4 and picks the ball up off his boot laces one grab gets the ball to Roos, drags down 2-3 players to clear room for him to snap the goal... 4 time night, 2 time day premiership star wont see ruckman as versitile as him in the game these days
No I was too busy sticking it up my useless Collingwood mates. They SOOOO gave it to me when they hit the front and I had to get some back. This was in my top 10 Fitzroy moments.
There are two stories. Some say that Fitzroy refused the merger, and it was ironic that they died in 1996 and Footscray live more than 10 years on. Some others say that Fitzroy was happy to merge, but Footscray refused. In such emotional matters, truth becomes distorted. Regardless, the whole episode was a tragedy for football and to this day, I still believe that Fitzroy were nothing but Guinea Pigs.
i know it's sad they had to fold but please get behind brisbane & support them. they've done a lot to mix the two and just need constant support. I LOVE LIONS!
I never get tired of watching this. I remember my dad picking me up and throwing me in the air when Roosey kicked that goal.

I was there! And spotted myself on the wing at the final throw in - such an awesome win - one of the great Roys moments. Still love the mighty Lions.
My favourite game of all time! Paul Roos was my hero.
A colourful sunset , a laughing child , Collingwood losing a close game....these are all beautiful things in life.
A sunset on the beach....gazeing at the stars at night...watching collingwood lose, these are truly beautiful things.
Great to see the young fans running on the ground to celebrate without the commentators calling them 'idiots'!
I was there too... it was awesome.

FITZ 13.14 (Guard 3, Lynch 3, Abbott, Dundas, Harding, Lyon, Paxman, Roos, Stephens) def COLL 13.11 (Watson 3, Lehmann 2, Manson 2, McGuane 2, McKeown, Pert, Starcevich, Turner)
I was there at the City end - packed with Pies supporters - Gayr pert goal went off - go pies
I follow Richmond but I love to see collingwood lose like that. Well done Roys.
collingwood rulz- was there great match well done Paul Roos
Good to NOT have to see stupid replays from every angle. And no Dermie or Walls giving us their stupid 'special comments'.
i know it's sad they had to fold but please get behind brisbane & support them. they've done a lot to mix the two and just need constant support. I LOVE LIONS!
Carn the swans! Roosey is legendary shame it's his last season!
Princes Park in Carlton, Victoria.
This stands as my favourite game of all time. The crowd was delirious. And I just noticed myself patting Roosy on the back at 4:33!
We always had the wood on Collinwood
"ROOOOOOOOOS!!!
Tony Francis: 22 possessions, 3 marks
actually wasn't it the other way around, it was the Footscray members that rallied to stop them merging not the Fitzroy fans with fundraisers....
@stabpass haha we all do mate ;)
Actually, It was 3 premierships in 3 years....
Probably Crows given SA heritage.
in living memory?
