In 2023, St Kilda celebrates 150 years. 

Despite being a died-in-the-wool Swans fan, AFL.com.au reporter Sarah Olle has a place in her heart reserved for the Saints. Sarah's grandfather, Alan Olle, played 51 games for the club between 1946-1951. 

Throughout 150 years, St Kilda has 1 Premiership on show. 1966. Saints fans can still recall every piece of play as vividly as the day they happened. 

Sarah has made her way to RSEA park, to speak to the rusted on Saints fans, and gone one-on-one with father John, to recount her grandfather's career, that memorable day in '66 and the modern times.
