    Oh dear. Did someone say No 1 ticketholder? Talk about not reading the room! Anyway, to parse an old saying, he has opened his mouth and removed all doubt.

    Resource The NMFC History thread

    Hmmm. You are probably on the money Hoj. The only other name I would throw into the mix is Dwyer. I honestly cannot remember. I agree with the Whippet that it was all gone after 1972. The new changerooms were ready for 1973. Can be verified in NMFC historical footage of the first game of 1973...

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026 + won't feature in leadership group as Larkey set to be named captain

    Seeking new 'whipping boy'!

In 76 he had a great year in the role Barry Davis had played prior. Must have gone close to the Syd that year. Unfortunately did his knee early in...

    Seeking new 'whipping boy'!

    I find the whole concept of 'Whipping Boys' offensive! North boys are our boys! In the 70s I well remember Gary Cowton copping heaps. Obviously not online in those days but in general conversation at matches and elsewhere. Probably also in media. Barassi used to single him out. I wonder if...
