Jersey Information
Worn as a one off jersey in a trial against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Carlaw Park on 24 February 2002. The jersey was made in honour of the Mt Albert Lions league club playing the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Carlaw Park 33 years earlier in 1968. With both the Lions and Rabbitohs having won their respective competitions the game was touted as an Australasian club championship. Souths would go on to win the game 27-13 after the Lions led 8-7 at halftime.
These jerseys were used as training jerseys and given away to staff when they were no longer wanted. Some were also given to Mt Albert League club and members of the original 1968 team. Mt Albert had Ivan Cleary No. 1 jersey framed and hanging in their club rooms but a visit in 2022 showed it was no longer there.
There is no knowing exactly how many were ever made with very limited unused jerseys sold to the public at stores like Champions on Queens St, Auckland...
