It was a case of history repeating – well almost.

12 years after North defeated Collingwood to win its second premiership, players from both grand final sides came together again for a rematch at Arden Street in 1989.

With their waistlines and fitness levels far what they used to be, the fans flocked to the Roos’ headquarters to see their heroes in the club colours for the last time.

Peter ‘Crackers’ Keenan predicted another draw and he wasn’t far off the mark, but at the end of the day the Magpies saluted by a single point.

Watch the video above to see all the action from the ‘Replay Replay’.

North will mark 40 years since the 1977 premiership with a special tribute at its Round 20 game against Collingwood at Etihad Stadium.
