1971 Premiership player. Fond memories of watching him play.
Outstanding postI don't know how to say this, so please take it as the way I mean it and maybe not the way I express it:
We are at a point in our entire culture where we are going to lose a whole generation of knowledge and experience that can't ever be replaced.
Please ask these people to tell you their stories, listen and record what they have to say, it's important. Not just for football, but to get a perspective that will be lost if we pay it no mind and how it's shaped Australia, I'm not just talking about Footy people.
No way we losing this one, or 76 and 78 after what Scott and Kennedy agreed to after 75. Which set us up for 20yrs. Kennedy and Scott vowed after 75 that "never again"!!!!
This ties into the thread about Scotty being a dick recently..................learn the history of these people. They were HARD HARD MEN.
