DOB Footy Scrapbook

[MrMOB]

G'day,

If you remember the Kangaroos of the days before it became a superteam in the 70's, you might be interested in this site:

This is snapshot of a player's career (Daryl O'Brien) in the struggling Shinboners of the sixties.

DOB is my dad, and as a birthday present a couple of years ago, I made a web site out of the stuff from the scrapbook my grandma kept of his playing days.

Cheers,

MrMOB

Welcome MrMob.

I checked the website - just quickly (cause I'm at work), looks good so far - I'll have a better look tonight at home.

MrMob,

You have done a great job. I was born in the early 60's so I do not remember your Dad. My memory of North players goes back to 75.

I remember your dad very well MrMob. As a young supporter in the 60's I'd pore over our line up every Friday morning...Half Back Line: O'Brien Steward Waddington... The lineup seemed so good I was bemused as to why we hardly ever won! To me all the players were champions and deserved to win every week! Great memories,thanks a lot!!

Hey... I have a footy card with your Dad's face on it...

I have been to your Dad's website a few years back... when I did the Kangaroo WebRing...

Welcome to our club...

That's excellent MOB.

Your dad sounds like he was a great player and it's a terrific tribute you've done in that website. From a selfish point of view, the more North culture there is the stronger the club gets.

Good job!
