Ian Stewart
Manage episode 426873190 series 3573880
One of only four players in the history of the game to win three Brownlow Medals, Ian Stewart describes the harsh environment that gave rise to his immense football talents. Stewart spent his early years on Tasmania’s rugged west coast, but his childhood was most shaped by his experiences living alongside orphaned migrant children at the Hobart welfare institution, Boys’ Town. Football was to become his salvation, as a teenage Stewart rose to prominence at the Hobart Football Club before an audacious move to Melbourne and the big time of the VFL.
