It was also a time which featured Magpie legends Des Tuddenham, Terry Waters, Len Thompson and Kevin Rose.
 
My task of researching for this art piece began back in 2008. A chance meeting with an old Collingwood supporter who happened to be at the game fired my imagination. Further interviews with other supporters who were present that day also added to the story.
 
I then took my research to the State library, where I viewed numerous copies of newspaper articles of the day. A study on the suburb of Collingwood was also necessary, in order to capture the true character of the ground and surrounding buildings. For this, further exploration was needed in researching historical documentation, pictures, photographs and architectural design books and magazines.  All this and what ever other resources I could get my hands on, were utilised in order to create a piece of art that hopefully keeps the memories of Collingwood flickering along and the spirit of the old Victoria Park Ground alive."
