Australia Post releases a stamp featuring David Campese
20-Jan-2012
Australia Post honours AFL, NRL, football and rugby union legends this Australia Day.
Football champions Gary Ablett Junior, Mark Schwarzer, Billy Slater and David Pocock will take on legendary status today by appearing on postage stamps released for Australia Day. All-time legends Ron Barassi, Joe Marston, John Raper and David Campese will also be immortalised on the 2012 Australia Post Australian Legends stamp issue, which recognises Australia’s four dominant football codes – Australian rules, football, rugby league and rugby union.
The identities of the eight football champions – one all-time legend and one current playing legend from each code has remained a tightly-held secret until today, when the stamps go on sale. The 2012 Australia Post Australian Legends will be honoured at the official Australia Day lunch in Sydney today, as well as Australia Day events staged in all capital cities leading up to 26 January. Each Legend will be presented with a 24-carat gold replica of the stamp on which he features.
