A total of 1136 men have represented the Carlton Football Club at senior level since the inaugural season of League competition in 1897. At the time of writing, 478 of them are still living and 658 deceased, with 417 consigned to history as “lost” players . . . at least, photographically speaking.
As such, the club, in conjunction with the Spirit of Carlton and The Blueseum, is seeking the assistance of the public to fill the void, confirmed in a recent audit of player images.
The Carlton Football Club would like to hear from those who may have a photograph/photographs of the 418 former players in their keep, preferably at the time that they played and, even better, sporting their much-prized Carlton guernseys – anyone and everyone from Otto Buck and Garney Goodrick through to Bobadil Hooper and Dick Wittman.
Jimmy Aitken, Carlton’s first captain in 1897, is included amongst the lost.
