Magpie Spirit Unbroken: Western Suburbs’ Legendary Battle at Belmore

Western Suburbs Magpies have never taken a background step, especially during the Roy Masters coached era between 1978 and 1981.

 The Magpies were one of the most feared teams in the competition during this period with a huge fan base that loved their style of play.

 In this particular game against Canterbury at Belmore Sports Ground, Western Suburbs had John Dorahy and John Donnelly sent off but still managed to put in a mighty Magpie effort despite having 11 men for the entire second half.
