Widely regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest finals player ever to grace the field, Wayne Johnston made the month of September his own.

That he never secured the Norm Smith Medal remains one of football's great injustices - but 'The Dominator' will doubtless settle for the four premierships and two club best and fairests that came his way in Carlton's halcyon years of the 1970s and '80s.

A three-time Victorian and All-Australian, Johnston was inducted into the Carlton Hall of Fame in 1991\. By decade's end, he was named on a half-forward flank in the club's Team of the Century, and is one of an elite group of just 12 players so far named as Legends of the Carlton Football Club.

In this Our History episode, he speaks at length with club historian Tony De Bolfo about his illustrious career and personal life after his induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
