Dan the man's nickname

[disgruntled goat]

Apparently (and this may be public knowledge, I dunno), thanks to the egg-throwing incident at Xavier, followed by his fall off a fence that resulted in him fracturing his cheekbone, Dan Hannebery has had a new nickname bestowed upon him by teammates - Humpty Dumpty.

He'd get that from his old man. It was almost legend in certain circles in the 1980s that Garry Jack was a bigger scrooge than Ebenezer.

Various tales about an Australian tour to England over a coupla months, where all the players kept a change jar and put all coins in after nights out, to be spent among the players at another time, but ol' Garry always kept his own change.

There's heaps of great Garry Jack stories, mostly not too flattering. I've seen a photo of him playing for Balmain, he goes to step off one foot around a player, then steps the other way, the photo is front-on and his shorts shift against the movement of his body and, well, let's just say the only tackle captured by the photographer didn't feature any other player.

Also, Garry Jack, from memory, was the "last straw" player to mouth off at the mighty Ian Roberts, still the only elite rugby league player (and he was elite!) to come out as gay. Roberts was a fantastic player, and seriously tough but no thug, would've copped shite every time he played, and one day Jack said something and I think took a swing at Roberts, who then to the shock of the rugby league world, unleashed an absolute torrent of blows on Jack, who had to be helped from the field.

I don't think Roberts had any similar trouble again.

Ahhh, Garry Jack ... his son is a much better bloke, as I understand.

I'm liking Teddy's articles, a lot of fun and he can write fairly well too.

I reckon DH's nickname should be 'boy'

Which is a little obscure Simpsons reference!

Dan, Dan he's our boy
if he can't do it
no one.......will

 

[Swans120]
