Good to see PMHPS Foundation Member, Johnny May got to see our current display "This Sporting Life in Port Melbourne" at the Port Phillip Heritage Centre.
It's free of charge during opening hours at Emerald Hill Library until October 20, 2026.
Johnny May recently visited 'This Sporting Life', now on display at the Port Phillip Heritage Centre.
A former player with the Port Melbourne Colts Aussie rules club, John joined for the camaraderie and ended up winning three premierships.
He vividly remembers the challenge of playing at the old Lagoon Oval in Graham Street, where knowing the quirks of the undulating ground gave locals an advantage.
Visit the 'This Sporting Life' exhibition to uncover the people, clubs and memories that shaped sport in Port Melbourne.
