Trip Down Memory Lane

[tbarker]

Just tell your son that the Saints took time to be that good but we will be one step better next time

I still remember how exciting those times were I really hope it's that exciting again

Good advice and what my old man told me.

The ACL didn't really help much though

Lenny would have played on with an ACL.

Lenny would have played on with an ACL.

Lenny was out for a season with an ACL

Must have been an imposter

Either that or his cousin Isaac

Lenny played the second half after he did his first ACL

He then turned water in to powerade

He then turned water in to powerade

I once saw Lenny play a game the day after having his leg bitten clean off by a great white.

I was at that game

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I was at that game

The hardest part was swimming after the white with one leg off so he could bash the shark and get his leg back. Half the world's kelp was inside when the doctor stapled it back on, so I don't know what Armo's problem was.

Funny how your footy club and its players are part of our life, still don't know if it will ever be the same going to the footy and Lenny not being there. He was every thing that made sport good and I would just go to the footy knowing we couldn't win but knew I would still enjoy it with that #7 out on the field

 

[Feerits Elf]

Club's bigger than the player mate, I felt the same way about Harvey.

You'll move on in time.

 

[VDS66]

We are allowed to grieve, thanks.

Yep I know that mate, but players like Lenny and Harvs are what make clubs speical

Lenny > Harves.

Seriously.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Lenny > Harves.

Seriously.

Lenny > Everyone

 

[Joffaboy]

Lenny > Harves.

Seriously.

Seriously - you should be beaten to a pulp, for even mentioning Lenny in the same breath as Harvs

Harvs > God (the real one not Ablett or SoG)

 

[L_W_P]

Harves was a gun player Joff but there was nowhere near the outpouring of emotion for his retirement as there has been for Lenny's.

I still remember Robert Harvey's last game. Was at this cool old fashioned restaurant place owned by Saints supporters, the owners two daughters were Saints fans, around the age of 20 and were balling their eyes out when Harvey played his last game (as we lost the prelim to Hawthorn). They were so sad for him. I was only 9 at the time so evidently I only have about 3-4 years of memories from Harvey's career, I missed so much of his career.

Wow.

I have been in Melbourne since 1988 and have seen three Saints champions

Plugger
Harvs
Roo

Nobody else should be classed anywhere near them.

Lenny is not a patch on Harvs as a footballer. Seriously cant believe people think he would be.

Joff, many of the younger posters on here wouldn't have been old enough to see Harvs in his prime, so naturally opinion would err towards Lenny Hayes.

I unfortunately didn't have the privilege to watch Harvs until it was the tail end of his career, so there wasn't as great a deal of sadness, and probably took him for granted as well. I still am pretty saddened by Lenny's retirement, but you move on haha

 

[felsty]

Harvs > Lenny
Says a lot about both of them

 

[TheJackal]

I remember it well

Probably my three favourite players of all time. Noone has done the #8 or #35 justice since, I suspect #7 might have better fortunes!
