any Saints historians?

[HardSaint]

I know I'm gonna be told to send an email to Russell Holmesby, but i stumbled across this pic no date (I suspect 20s sometime cos of the jumpers and it looks like Barney Carr - in the middle) but I'm intrigued as to to who the Indigenous fellow is, what he did, if there's anything more known about him...

Looks to be mid twenties.

Colin Watson is sitting in the middle row and Fred "Flops" Phillips is third from the left in the back row.

This isnt meant to be racist but I would very much doubt it back in those days.

Yeah, I agree, probably not too many indigenous doctors getting around in 1923, especially considering they weren't counted as 'people' until 1967…

I'd love to know more about that guy in the photo though…

More likely the club scapegoat.

Really? An indigenous mascot... Did he run out with the team or something? Did the mascot dress up as 'a saint' like the 80's?

I think that Bill Cubbins is in the back row on the extreme left.

"mascot" in team pics became quite the norm from the late 30's till the mid 50's

this is a past players team from the late 30's , the little blonde boy and his brother who were the son's of the Club Secretary will pop up quite a bit in team pics of the next couple of years




The Back to Back Reserve Permiers of 1941 and 42 the boy is named as "The Mascot" his name is Brian Hodgson



this looks like another "past players" team



now this one is a reserves team maybe early 50's I'm not too sure but i do love how some random boy scout gets in the pic
