Don't want, (or need) to start a new thread - still want to post it though

I have that card but then I have virtually every card (in mint/near mint) Pies cards since 1965.

Is the gum still in good condition?

 

[Scodog10]

if you watched TFS, you know why.

I didn't watch it so why?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Didnt watch it but remember him. Wore number 27 like a few of my favorite players ......Kevin Worthington Craig Starevevich Kayle Kirby....

Tough half back flanker from the late 60's

A tough little red head Con Britt. May have tried a bit too hard to model himself on Tuddy (Britt was nowhere near as hard as Tuddy....then again nobody but Leigh Matthews ever was) but he was "fiery" as Lou Richards would have said.
Played mostly as a half forward flanker but later in his career Bobby Rose used Britt in a back pocket and he had several run ins with Carlton's indigenous star Syd Jackson.

I didt know he was a red head. But then again colour TV didnt come in until 1976....

Half forward I think

Bit of every thing, can remember him being in the back pocket as well.

The footy card will know. It probably says "utility"

I'm assuming he's the guy who destroyed Sam Newmans kidney and nearly killed him?

Neither did I.
Always thought he had dark hair, for some reason.
I didn't start attending games until mid 70's, so never saw him play live.
His name was used as 'cockney rhyming slang' in our office.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Ah, just let me have a 'Con Britt' first"

Oh really? Pretty poor taste thread title then.

Yeah that was my first thought too.

Pretty much this. I saw the adds while watching the Block so first instinct was that Con was the man behind the incident. If that's true and the OP is insinuating that Con is his hero because of it that's appalling, IMO.

Given the remorse Con showed in the snippet I saw he'd probably be offput by being labeled a hero for that incident as well! Some clarification would be great for those of us that didn't watch TFS.

haha, no.

I did get my fav card a few years ago, 1973 John Greening Diecut (mint condition) & it still had the smell of old scanlens gum for a while.

Guy I bought it from in Tassie found a box of his old cards with a dozen unopened packs, it was in one of them.

Lots of love for Sam the man who didn't die. In fact went on to play more games after losing his kidney than before.
In fact won the Cats B&F the following year.
May have been a bit of an overstatement to say he almost died after all.
And now, fifty years later he is lining his bank account with this story.
Poor Sam. Hard life.

Remorse?
You obviously didn't watch the show.
He even presented Sam with a fresh kidney!

 

[Countrypie]

I have no love for Sam Newman - I think he's the greatest example of a walking talking phallus that is currently available on earth. That said, I always thought playing on after the accident was quite brave.
I nearly wrote something tasteless but thought better of it.

Yes. A point I made quite clear in your s**t thread!

 

[Black_White]

Yes. A point I made quite clear in your most awesome thread!

Oh my....the mods have Sh*t the bed again.
Oh well...
EFA your comment.

I got some 'trophy points' today for reaching the figure of 5,000 likes. I just thought I'd share that with everyone, because this success is very much a tribute to the good taste of the board as well as my own likeability.

And a tribute to the fact I give out likes easier than umps give frees to Patty D

Don't you think font size is a bit big? Can you change it?

Yep, bottom left of page, offers you format options. I prefer 'cool'.

 

[Vicky Park]

Not keen on new format.
Just sort of appeared.

But have to get used to it.

A no from me, if ain't broke, don't fix it

See my post above on how to return to the familiar format.

Be careful. Their mods will be especially grumpy if the Tiges lose. You may not get a fair hearing.
