#10 - The Fitzroy ‘Flood’ Match of 1953
Watch video highlights of the Fitzroy 'Flood' Match of 1953 on BulldogsTV here.
The Bulldogs faced Fitzroy in some of the most bizarre circumstances ever seen on a football ground. The Western Oval was awash with pools of water a foot deep in places, after a deluge of rain had blocked drains causing the playing surface to be partly submerged.
In one of the more extraordinary scorelines, Footscray ran out winners 10-6-66 to Fitzroy’s solitary 1-0-6, the lowest score kicked that century.
Stay tuned to westernbulldogs.com.au as we continue the Whitten Oval Moments Countdown.
