The greatest accolade the North Melbourne Football Club could bestow sits comfortably upon the broad shoulders of Glenn Archer. There may have been greater talents who wore the royal blue and white of the Kangaroos but none have come close to epitomising thr never-say-die attitude of this mighty player. As Glenn Archer bowed out of football at the end of the 2007 season, he was lauded by every section of the football world. He had played more games for the Kangaroos than any other. He had played in Premierships and been voted the Norm Smith Medallist in the game that matters the most - the Grand Final. The Glenn Archer story is one of resilience, of courage under fire. 'Arch' was simply the greatest shinboner of them all.
Written off at the start of the season, the Kangaroos of 2007 showed all the classic Shinboner spirit of old. Mid-season they established themselves as one of the toughest units in the AFL. There would be some record-breaking performances from Glenn Archer in his final season and a year to remember for All-Australian Brent Harvey. The year also saw some emergence from some fine young Kangaroos. Join us as we have a look back on a year that provided so many highlights for so many Kangaroo fans.
Reggie Miller single-handedly crushed the hearts of Knick fans multiple times. But it was the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals that solidified Miller as Public Enemy #1 in New York City.

This career-defining performance, combined with his give-and-take with Knicks fan Spike Lee, made Miller and the Knicks a highlight of the 1995 NBA playoffs. Peabody Award-winning director Dan Klores will explore how Miller proudly built his legend as "The Garden's Greatest Villain".
