The already extensive collection of Fitzroy memorabilia housed at Etihad Stadium has just gotten even bigger – with the Fitzroy-Brisbane Lions Historical Society installing a further 15 window boxes to commemorate some of Club’s all-time greats.

Museum Custodian Arthur Wilson said a considerable increase in Historical Society membership, coupled with some hugely successful functions in 2013, ultimately helped fund the recent extension.

“It’s a real credit to the supporters of our Historical Society, whose membership and attendance at functions has made this all possible,” Wilson said.

“The new displays are dedicated to some of Fitzroy’s finest – including Hall of Fame Legends Kevin Murray and Haydn Bunton – who have all generously loaned us items from their personal collections for fans to enjoy.”

Bill Stephen, Paul Roos, Norm Brown, Garry Wilson, Percy Parratt, Jim Freake, John Murphy and Fred Hughson are among others who are now honoured with their own display.

But the Historical Society isn’t done just yet – with plans to enhance their Museum further early next year.

“We’re committed to displaying as many old Fitzroy artefacts as we can to effectively honour all those players who represented this great Club in the past,” Wilson said.

Fans interested on visiting the new-look Historical Society Museum are advised to contact either Arthur Wilson (0405 565 814) or Bob Forrest (0407 568 754) to book a guided tour.

Tours are FREE for existing Historical Society members, and $5 for any non-members or guests.

All proceeds will go back into making continual improvements to the Museum over time.

2014 Historical Society memberships, which are still only $20, will go on sale early in the New Year.
