Bernie "Superboot" Quinlan

Hello. The person pictured above is Bernie "Superboot" Quinlan, one of the Victoria Football League's "most exciting, if unpredictable, key position forwards of the 1970s and '80s."

Austrailian Rules Football seems to have originated from a game called Marn Grook, a game played by Aborigines kicking and catching a ball made of possum skin.

As I've recently discovered, a nice way to cap off Superboot Quinlan investigations is to listen to the Fitzroy Football Club theme song.

The lyrics are as follows:

We all stick to the Blue and Maroon,
Win or lose, Fitzroy don't change their tune;
That's the team we hold so dear,
We'll be Premiers this year;
And you'll see us with the Pennant very soon.
