Fitzroy had some great teams, great players. No home ground after they left Brunswick Street, lack of funding did them in.

We are the boys from old Fitzroy, we wear the colors, maroon and blue.

yes i was around as a teen when Fitzroy Lions were in the VFL. I remember it being a truely sad time in the history of footy when they went under and were bought out by Brisbane.

Lots of crying fans on TV - they were never the strongest side but they had loyal fans.
