Some of the finest players to ever pull on the Western Suburbs
Magpies jersey will be attending the annual Pratten Park Magpies
Re-union at Allianz Stadium on Sunday, April 1.
The re-union is
set to attract more than 200 former Magpies players and will be held for

against South Sydney, Wests Tigers will celebrate the 60th anniversary
of the 1952 grand final between the Magpies and South Sydney.

Summons, Noel Kelly, John Elford, John Dorahy and Jim Leis are just some
of the names attending the re-union to be held at the SCG Members Bar.
