On a
Friday night, late shopping night
youd go up Smith
Street, just to walk along, youd meet everybody
and
the Collingwood footballers would go along. Many occasions theyd
start from Johnston Street and walk up to Laxtons shoe shop
then theyd walk back. They had everybody following
them, talking to them.

Football Club secretary,
