This photo of the Newtown Football Club 1st grade and officials was taken at the original Erskineville Oval which was about where the public housing units are now located.

There are a number of faces in the crowd whom we can identify including former Collingwood players Con McCormack, who coached the team, and Jack Incoll .

Standing in the back row, fourth from the left in a bowler hat is Jim Phelan after whom the Sydney B & F medal is named. He was a prominent figure in Australian Football in Sydney from about 1903-24 and was responsible for keeping the game going in the city during WWI.
