Toast Honour. The. Past.

[Stig O'Hara]

I remember a game we played the Kangas ..might of been a final rucking against Gary Dempsey ..kicked his arse that day ..best game he played I reckon ..ran with him all day ..

Big Percy.

Gags best mate.

Got caught in a nightclub 2 nights before a final in the early 70s.

Jezza took charge, and made an example of his 14 year mate.

Made him sweat, made him run, got the old boy fit...... sorta.

He played a crucial role in ‘79.

The photos are there, Jezza calls up his mate to hold the cup.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

People don’t get it.

We were never favourites back in those days.

110k turned up, but we were the white shorts side, the away team.

The things we did.....

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Enjoy your night, did listen to Lizzy

 

[BluStreak]

Des English please

 

[Robertio]

Yep.

One of 9 Norm Smith Medallist’s in ‘72.

Personally would have gone for big Percy.

Big Nick kicked 6 Walls kicked 6 and Jezza got 7, all great great Carlton names. I totally agree with you Percy was best that day.

 

[thylacine60]

how many did keogh kick?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

how many did keogh kick?

Dunno.

Did finish top 3 in the b&f that year.

Couple of weeks later he ran into Mal Brown.....

 

[thylacine60]

One of the greatest ruck performances I have seen.

What year did big Nick retire ? Was it 72 or something ,don't remember him playing when i was a boy .can remember Jezza's last couple of years.

 

[Dadda Dave]

how many did keogh kick?

When I was Keogh as a kid I kicked plenty into the ole man's garden shed with some almighty snaps.

Played his record game v the Pies at Vikky Park in late ‘74, then jumped/pushed into retirement as Fitzpatrick was on the way over.

Kept the coaching gig for ‘75, then was booted for Thorogood.

Huge loss in 1973.

Lost him and Armstrong after the Second Semi Final win.

Tried to cover with Brian Walsh and Vinnie in his first game, Walsh was a goal kicking forward, and so it happened as thus.

Ian Robertson
