Programme - Port Adelaide Football Club

Details

ProvenanceThe history of Port Adelaide Football Club dates back to its founding on 12 May 1870. Since the club's first game on 24 May 1870, it has won 36 SANFL premierships, including six in a row. The club also won the Champions of Australia competition on a record four occasions. In 1997, the club joined the Australian Football League-the only pre-existing non-Victorian club to have done so-and subsequently added the 2004 AFL Premiership to its achievements.I In 1902, Port Adelaide took the field in black and white jerseys that came to identify ' The Magpies'. Port Adelaide defeated Sturt to win the 1910 SAFL Grand Final, its sixth premiership. Port Adelaide would later prevail over Collingwood at the Adelaide Oval to be crowned Champions of Australia for a second time.SignificanceThe 1910 match programme links to the history of the Port Adelaide Football Club established in the 1870s. The Australian Rules football code was particularly popular in South Australia. The Magpies evolved into Port Power and has always had a passionate and strongly parochial fan base, binding the Port Adelaide community during tough times. This programme may have been kept as a souvenir of the team's premiership win in 1910.DescriptionPort Adelaide Football Club programme, 1910 from 7 May to 3 September, 32 pages with a card cover.
