Having played with
Fitzroy's Firsts, Seconds, and Thirds (under-19s) over more than a decade, Wally Clark retired from senior football at the end of the 1962 VFL season, having played 105 senior games over eight seasons (1955-1962) and, in 1962, the team's top goal-scorer (21 goals). He was appointed

Fitzroy's home ground, the match was one of the major highlights of the 1960s, wherein the young, inexperienced (and, for the 1963 season, winless) Fitzroy team unexpectedly, comprehensively — and, for some, "miraculously" — beat the experienced and powerful Geelong

The
Geelong Football Club was so concerned about the comprehensive and overwhelming nature of the Fitzroy victory that, three days later, on Tuesday, 9 July 1963, the club convened a special 100-minute meeting between all of the club’s senior players and all of the members of the club's selection
