The Final Story - Collingwood v St.Kilda - 1966 Grand Final

This highly emotional documentary of the 1966 Grand Final captures the incredible life stories of that famous day including rarely seen footage of the time, including the late Darrel Baldock emotionally recounting his day as the St.Kilda Captain. Combined with the fire of Allan Jeans’ audio at 3/4r time this is truly a must-watch.

@MU FC soccer is the worst sport in the world. It’s not number 1 in Australia, Japan, Philippines, New Zealand, Ireland, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, USA, Canada, Cuba. The A-league is almost bankrupt as no one goes or even watches it because of the more popular sports Australian rules and rugby league. Although not number one in wild or nsw, it’s still MASSIVE in those states. Check yourself before you wreck yourself

@MU FC soccer will never be big here unless Australia can somehow get. The Very best to play in the A league.. A league is like 4th 5th division football.

Thank God the Mighty Saint's won in an era that the game was filmed for generations to witness. Fingers crossed they can do it again in my lifetime. ❤

Just it’s a shame it was in black and white and their only premiership shows them in Collingwood jumpers. The last time it happened

I reckon you got a good chance this year, 2023, and I'm not a Saints supporter.

Young Geelong fan here and, having witnessed most of Geelong’s recent success within my lifetime already, I really do hope to see the Saints win it all once again. Anyone but Collingwood :)

Ironically Breen was the last player to retire (1982.) Him and Neal were the only players to play as far as 1977

[@joememphis1571]

Barry Breen is the “youngest” surviving player from the 1966 premiership side at 73 years of age. The oldest are Verdun Howell, and Alan Morrow who are each 84 years old.

My club South Adelaide in the SANFL haven't won the flag since 1964 and that's in a 10 team comp. St Kilda are not the only cursed club. South also build your hope up by actually being a decent team during most seasons but always crush it at the end. I hope both South and St kilda win the flag soon.

Bob Rose was a true gentleman and good sport. Collingwood and other teams need to learn more about his sportsmanship. Eddie and Buckley’s attitude after losing their premierships are pathetic

[@markmooroolbark252]

What are you on about? Buckley and McGuire have always been gracious losers in grand finals. Did you see the 2018 post match interviews and press conferences?

[@sliat1981]

mark mooroolbark are you on drugs? At they did was storm off and bawled their eyes out. Where as the congratulations to the other team? Look at Buckley’s speech after winning the norm smith to Gary abletts. Disgraceful

[@markmooroolbark252]

@@sliat1981 Almost as gracious and humble as the Lion's captain who screamed you beauty into the microphone and carried on like a pork chop along with all his mates who mocked the Collingwood players with texts or digs about their courage. As a coach and president, Bucks and McGuire have been nothing but gracious in defeat, despite the fact we have suffered more heartaches than any other club by a country mile.

[@sliat1981]

mark mooroolbark rubbish. All they tried to do was turn it into the game that Collingwood lost. It was the game Brisbane won. You wouldn’t even know it by the media. All papers were just pages and pages of Malthouse and Buckley bawling their eyes out. Maguire was nothing but a sore loser.

[@broderickwallis25]

As a pies supporter I attended nine GFs from 1964 to 1990. (2in77). While extremely disappointing at the time, I can now say I witnessed some of the greatest GFs of all time !!!! Congrats to the saints for 66 ! Irony of ironies is that since 64 Collingwood went on to win two GFs.... Melbourne win one a couple of years back after doing very little for a half a century makes the Pie efforts seem all in vain !!!!!!

[@organicmechanic5150]

Doc and Trevor Barker, Saints royalty.

Ratten should show this to the players. Let them know what the club means. That if they want “to make a name for themselves”, then they have the chance.

In an era that included the South Melbourne Football Club and The Fitzroy Football Club. The Saints are at least survivors.

[@melthoidserendipity1332]

Had the team to win one in the early 90s too with Plugger, Winmar, Burke, Frawley and co, then 1997 was a lost opportunity, and then should have won in 2004 when they were top most of the season then lost momentum at the end by losing four of the last six and having to play two finals interstate (against the eventual grand finalists). Have no doubt they would have won a flag under the leadership of Grant Thomas. Typical Saints board snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
