Four generations in 88-year-old Gracie Ebejer’s family prove Collingwood really is forever, though a rebel Blues fan was just the exception to prove the rule.
In a quiet street in Abbotsford near Victoria Park, one home stands out among the rest.
Gracie’s family has grown to four generations, which includes 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. The youngest Pies supporter is one. Unfortunately, there is a defector in the family – one grandson is a Carlton supporter – but the family isn’t fussed after Carlton’s loss last week.“My son is a Carlton supporter and he said ‘we are coming for you’. When Carlton lost, I said ‘what time are you coming? We are waiting’,” says Liz.
But more than the fanfare around the family home is the tradition that has kept them close over the years. On grand final day the family will gather, some even travelling from interstate, to enjoy Gracie’s pastizzis, a popular Maltese savoury pastry, catch up, and cheer on their team.
