The Maize God, Chicken Smallhorn. Wilfred 'Chicken' Smallhorn was a tiny wingman who played his footy for Fitzroy in the VFL in the 1930s. If you're a keen footy fan, you might recognise the name - you might even know that he won the 1933 Brownlow Medal, currently on display in the National Sports Museum. But that's just part of the Chicken Smallhorn story. In episode one of Object of the Game, we take you behind the medal to the story of Chicken's life, with a little help from his nephew, Murray. Object of the Game is a new podcast from the National Sports Museum, telling the stories behind the objects on display.
