Chitty . . . Diggins . . . Vallence . . . household names one and all, and featured here for all to see in this Leader photograph of the all-conquering 1938 Carlton Premiership team.

But what of the unnamed mascots? Who are they and what became of them?

If you are one of the four little blokes featured in this famous team pic (and you’d be a spritely octogenarian now) then the club would like to hear from you - particularly if you were there on Grand Final day ’38, when the Blues prevailed by 15 points over the hapless back and whites in what doubled as “Soapy’s” last hurrah.

Mascots are urged to contact Tony De Bolfo c/o the Carlton Football Club on 9389 6241 at their earliest convenience.
