Should have added the Basil Fawlty image doing the 'funny walk'

 

This article link below makes mention of some old players added to the 200 club.

Again they have avoided using the FOOTSCRAY name/word.

 

The way it is written implies that the F word wasn't missed out by accident, but by intention. They have used the word tricolour but would not use Footscray

 

When the likes of Bill Cubbins and Ivan McAlpine played for Footscray in the 1930's, bulldogs was still not the official nickname!

It is dreadful the way they seem to want to wipe the word Footscray from everyone's memory.  It is a form of censorship and trying to change history but done in a subtle way.
