Gday lads
I would like to start up another discussion on the hardmen of the rdfl during the above period. Growing up in this time i got to see most of these players and witness some memorable and not so memorable incidents that would just about get life in football if it had happened nowadays. I have also heard some great stories and no doubt these stories have became bigger and bigger each year. If any of you out there remember any great mongrel stories out there please share and please add anyone i have missed. some are nicknames as i have forgotten there names.
