Incredibly proud moment to see the opening of the Sydney Swans museum on Tuesday night.
For the best part of 2 years, I’ve been working on the text creation for the museum’s physical and digital spaces. To see it all come to life was unforgettable.

He dedicated a lifetime to the club, serving as a player, captain, committeeman, secretary and coach.

It was Bernie Evans' destiny to join the Swans. His passion for the club ran deep from his childhood in South Melbourne, and he never lost sight of his dream to don the iconic red and white guernsey.
Evans described debuting for the club he'd always followed as "A dream come true."

He is also among the great early leaders, once described as 'the Napoleon of football commanders'.
Elms captained South Melbourne for 10 seasons, winning 4 premierships.
