SPORTING MEMORABILIA

Including the collections of footballing greats Barry Round and Ross Oakley.

BARRY ROUND (1950-2022) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Footscray, South Melbourne/Sydney in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was a Brownlow Medal winner in 1981 and served as the Sydney Swans’ first captain during their move to Sydney. He also had a successful career in the VFA, playing and coaching for Williamstown, where he captained and coached premiership teams.

ROSS OAKLEY (born 1942) is a former St Kilda VFL footballer turned visionary sports executive who led the transformation of the VFL into today’s national AFL and continues to contribute actively to community sport in retirement.
