Nicky Winmar, the first Aboriginal Australian footballer to play 200 games in the AFL, continuously struggled with discrimination during his career. But what happened that made him stand against the crowd in the middle of the game? Let’s take a look at Nicky's unusual life.


Neil Elvis Winmar, aka Nicky Winmar, was born on the 25th of November 1965 in Kellerberrin, Western Australia. During his early days, Nicky grew up on an aboriginal reserve in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt in a shack made of corrugated iron that didn’t even have window glasses. Nicky’s house didn’t have a decent floor, running water, or proper sewerage. But despite all these challenges, Winmar grew up as a responsible kid and started working at the very young age of 15 as a shearer. And yeah, he had to leave his school for this.
