Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Thursday, 26 December 2024 is 1966 St Kilda Football Club season.
The 1966 St Kilda Football Club season is the most successful season in St Kilda Football Club history. It currently stands as the only premiership season for St Kilda since its entry into the VFL. The Saints season in 1966 also saw St Kilda win every home game, including the Grand Final rematch in round 8.
Although 1966 was St Kilda's first premiership season, the club had been to the VFL Grand Final in 1913 and more recently, 1965. Leading up to the premiership season, St Kilda had played finals football in both the 1961 and 1963 seasons.
That they won the 1966 flag was perhaps more surprising given the success of the season prior, in which the Saints finished minor premiers before winning the Second Semi Final in a thrilling one-point victory over Collingwood, and losing to Essendon in the Grand Final.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:29 UTC on Thursday, 26 December 2024.
