Dogumentary Trivia Question II

[Waltzing Woof Biscuit]

OK doggies - think 1985 end of season trip to the US! Which player, during the outgoing Qantas flight, grabbed the cabin crew's microphone and announced to passengers that he 'hoped that they were enjoying their meal, because it was probably going to be their last. The plane's going down!!'

Sounds like something that Doug Hawkins would have done.

I think it was Robert Groenowegan. Alan Daniels or Tont Buhagier tried to pull a plaque of the wall and Steven Lunn tried to steal a hostess uniform(what did he want that for?) To the best of my memory these were the main players in this drama.

You're 'hot to trot' localyokel, as Lou Richards might say!! Yes, it was 'Captain Groenewegan' who commandeered the mike and ran amuk.

As far as I know, Buhargiar completely lost the plot and was involved in the nicking of some poor sod's wheelchair. As for the actions of messrs. Daniels and Lunn, I would not doubt the validity of same!

Sorry Carob6 - I'm sure that Dougie wished he had've done it!

I think I read about it in Dougie's book

Mr Buhagiar was wheeled comatose through customs I think at Los Angeles. The players were on route to Hawaii but after their 'little bit of trouble'(as Frank Spencer might say) they found themselves disembarking at LA.

This may have been a defining moment in the Budgie's career direction. He's now the licencee of the Leopold Hotel in Perth, the local Bulldog supporter group's watering hole and mecca for the team when they visit WA.
