A Carlton guernsey can clearly be seen in ABBA's 'Chiquitita' video clip.

Former North Melbourne player, part time Carlton coach, club General Manager, and long time Carlton man Keith McKenzie instigated the move to get ABBA's Agnetha Faltskog and Frida Lyngstad to wear the Carlton guernsey. Club historian Tony De Bolfo wrote an article about McKenzie on his passing in 2018, revealing Keith's role in the Swedish super stars donning football's iconic jumper. Keith said they wore them in the four shows they did in Perth. They certainly wore them on the plane to Perth, but as yet photos of them wearing them in a concert are yet to surface.
If you know they did and have images, please forward a copy/copies to Blueseum. Perhaps one of our W.A. supporters who attended a Perth concert can confirm.
