  1. When Suzanne Lenglen won the 1925 Wimbledon women's singles title, she did so by conceding only 5 games in the 6 matches that she played.
  2. The New Zealand Warriors of the Australian National Rugby League competition:
  3. 1970's Australian cricketers Rod Marsh and Dennis Lillee wearing Richmond VFL jumpers: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bd/df/37/bddf37c344795f97045150f1a9e04535.jpg
  4. After playing 102 games for Fremantle in the AFL between 2011 and 2016, Tendai Mzungu played 4 games for Greater Western Sydney in 2017 before announcing his retirement.
  5. Reminds me of the Australian version of Radio Shack. Dick Smith electronics is now purely an online seller rather than a "bricks and mortar" retailer: I'll also show the logo of one of the biggest and most spectacular busts in recent Australian retail history:
  6. "Up There Cazaly", Australian rules football board game, circa 1980.
  7. Magic Johnson makes a guest appearance for the Canberra Cannons against Michigan State in 2002 during the Australian team's tour of the United States:
  8. The highest Test match cricket batting averages of all time: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/282910.html Players 2-10 are separated by roughly three runs. The top player, Donald Bradman, is 38 runs ahead of the 2nd best player!
  9. Chris Judd played only 1 game for East Perth in the WAFL in 2002, before his 14 year career in the AFL with West Coast and Carlton between 2002 and 2015.
  10. Andrew Balkwill played one game for Carlton in the AFL, back in Round 3 of the 1997 season. He has the unique distinction of being the only player in Carlton history to have played senior VFL/AFL football without donning the famed Old Dark Navy Blue jersey, as this was the only game where Carlton wore light blue as part of a sponsorship deal with M&M chocolates.
  11. After 307 games and 4 premierships (2008, 2013, 2014, 2015) in 15 seasons for the Hawthorn Hawks between 2002 and 2016, Sam Mitchell will be playing for the West Coast Eagles in the 2017 Australian Football League season. Another recruit for the West Coast for 2017 is Drew Petrie, who played 316 games in 16 seasons for North Melbourne between 2001 and 2016. This is the first time in AFL history that a club has had two new recruits in the same season who played over 300 games each at another club.
  12. An unusual example from a baseball card. Smoky Burgess' 1965 Topps card says that he is with the White Sox, but he is wearing the wrong uniform of his previous team, the Pittsburgh Pirates:
  13. After winning their one and only VFL/AFL premiership in 1966, the St Kilda Saints take their victory lap around the Melbourne Cricket Ground wearing the jumpers of their opponents, Collingwood. Back then it was a post-game tradition for players to swap jerseys with their opponents.
