Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[Franc de Borges]

A personal favourite.

Went to training early one day when I was about 14, a car drives into the old car park and out comes Browny from his ute, still in his work gear. As he passes by he goes, "How ya doin' mate? ******* windy out 'ere today innit? Jesus. Have a good one"....and he went inside for training without me saying a word.

For some reason I have Richmond in my mind but could've been the Saints. Wonder what year it was so I can work out how old I was given I remember it like it was yesterday too!

It was against Richmond in 1992 at Waverley. We got done by 3 points. He also cost us the game that day by missing one from the goal square with a minute to go.

He did it again kicking for goal against North the following year on a Friday night.

*Now that I think of it, the initial 'stubbing the toe' may have been against the Saints in '91 or '92.

25 turned out to be too heavy for Frank.

Not for this man, though.

Can finally throw out my raffle ticket from that day.....

Didn't have ticket number 454.

Good to see that Essendon lost the reserves and the Little League as well.

I also remember the match in the early 90's I think at Princes Park where we were down by around 40 something points to Geelong at half time. All looked lost but they switched SOS to full forward and he kicked a bag and we came back and won!!

Double whamy here..

HEAVER BRICK!



Hulme >>>> Armfield.



Gave an opposition supporter points after he came out with "Hit the highway Hulme!" after we lost at the G.

10 goal 3rd quarter, was there and will never forget that game, we were lucky to only be down by about 39 pts as Geelong kicked badly.

Sos kicked one of the best left foot goals on the run I have ever seen from right on 50.

Oh another one, the 1992 Centenary match Carlton vs Collingwood. Was amazing
My Pies supporting friend didn't talk to me the whole way back to Adelaide.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Youtube seems to be lacking clips of him kicking goals sadly though



Definitely was truly courageous on the field..

Lol I have a funny story from this game. I had a can of coke and as Carlton kicked a goal, I raised my hand in the air and dad punched the air in celebration and accidentally knocked the can of coke out of my hands and all over the Collingwood supporting family in front of us. Was very funny!!!

Was also watching some old grand finals and swan McKay was playing a game that made Brian Lake look like Shoenmakers

'72 grand final- That was a sensational mark by McKay, taken after Balme broke his jaw earlier in the game.

At 3.09 minutes...Jezza kicks a goal but a dog nearly got in his way !

Translation:

I had a can of coke in my hand and threw it all over those scum supporters in front of me when Carlton kept kicking goal after goal.

Probably the only shower they had for weeks
