Nah, he'll never shine a light on Harvey. He could recall Bradman and the "good 'ol days". He preached to people who never saw the greats live.

[childeric]

Ian Chappell pops up sometimes

Older posters may remember former RSL president Bruce Ruxton

When Kerryn Phelps was AMA pres she got a good run -her successors have been nearly invisible

Frank Brennan was popular for a while. Did he die or something?

 

[Gough]

Arthur Tunstall back in the day was always good for a sound bite or seven.

 

[SugarShane]

Warne

I think Warney works the other way. They don't ask him for quotes, just every few weeks he goes, "Shit, haven't been in the papers for a week, better ring em up and tell them I'm still good enough for the Ashes."

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Gerry Harvey.

I actually think the retail sector is copping some unfair shit at the moment, but this bloke does himself and his industry no favours. Absolute muppet... he actually feels the need to regularly come out in the media and basically insult the very people who are his customers.

He must have had some pretty switched on people working for him over the years, that’s all I can deduce.

Ron Barrassi.

+1. Barassi is second only to Warne when it comes to love from the Herald Sun. Lou Richards a close third.
