1909 & 1910 NSW First Grade Football team photos

[steve albin]

Dear members,

I would like to know if there would be any old NSW footy team photos from 1909 and 1910.

The person I am interested in played for NSW and also the Redfern F.C.

Here are some of the details which may help.

1909 NSW v Queensland   
04-09-1909    1st Grade    Captain: William P Cooper     Manager: William George Fleming     Exhibition Ground Brisbane   

1910 NSW v North Adelaide FC – 1   
11-06-1910  1st Grade   Captain: Mesac William Goulburn (Goldie) Thomas   Coach: E P Finlay  Erskineville Oval


Kind regards
Steve

Which form of "footy" are you interested in. Rugby League, Rugby Union, AFL, or soccer.

There are a lot of mentions on Trove, but just putting Redfern football club brings up all versions.

Dear members,

I cannot help with the team photos, but I can see the marriage for Mesac     Perhaps his ushers also played in his team? 

At St. Stephen's Church- Newtown, on Saturday, October 7, the Rev W L Langley solemnised the marriage of Miss Amy Wright, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wright,of Newtown (late of Mittagong), to Mr. W. G.M. Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mesac Thomas, of Waverley. The church was beautifully decorated by friends for the occasion. The bride wore a lace dress over satin charmeuse, with pearl trimmings, also an embroidered veil and wreath of orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet and prayer book, the latter being the gift of the Rev. W. L. Langley; also a pearl and amethyst pendant, the gift from the bridegroom. She -was attended by her sister, Miss May Wright. Mr. Herbert Thomas acted as best man and Messrs. Musgrave, Pite, and Dougall as ushers. After the ceremony Miss Phogan sang "Beloved, It is Morn," and a reception was held in Baumann's Cafe.

HI,

The chap I am after was a half back flank and a rover so I guess it was AFL as he was born in Vic.

Kind regards

Have you contacted the Archives at City of Sydney, as they have a very large photo collection ?

http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/learn/sydneys-history/people-and-places/park-histories/erskineville-oval

"A sports ground for cricket and football was built in the park, and the football ground was later enlarged for Australian Rules matches."

http://www.phafl.com.au/details.php?p_id=56  It seems that in 1903, the NSW Australian Football League was formed   ........ scroll down, towards the end of the article there's the name of a chap (who is an OAM) and he is from the "History Committee" .... perhaps he has photos.... 

Cheers,  JM
