I just noticed an article about June Middleton, the lady in the iron lung, passed away today. She spent 60 years in the iron lung and was aged 83. I may be wrong but i am sure she was a mad Carlton supporter and some of the players went to a party for her recently.

She was a mad Carlton supporter. This from a lateline story on her

Quote:
MICK BUNWORTH: What sort of things do you think have kept June going?

HAZEL SULLIVAN: Number one, Carlton Football Club. Forever and a day. I mean, that was her, I would say, her first love.

MICK BUNWORTH: Sure enough, the current Carlton team adorns the inside of June Middleton's iron lung. There's a reason you keep them all in there on the lid?

JUNE MIDDLETON: No.

MICK BUNWORTH: Can you tell me what that is?

JUNE MIDDLETON: When I sleep with 49 men I don't need any blankets!
