Nicky Winmar

Paying tribute to indigenous culture, Bunjil the Eagle and the courage of Nicky Winmar.

An Indigenous Australian man, Winmar was the first Aboriginal footballer to play 200 games in the AFL, and was named in the Indigenous Team of the Century in 2005.

He was involved in several incidents of racial vilificationduring his career, and a photograph of Winmar responding to one such incident during the 1993 season has been described as one of the most memorable images in Australian sporting history.
