Universal Love Down Memory Lane

[thylacine60]

Not a lot of doubt when it says who they are on the front of the record??

Hey, I worked my way down. Like the Bombers!

I personally knew the big guy in the Roy's jumper... Lived across the road from us... Fanatical blues supporter... Him and his brothers.

Only went to the Roy's because we lived in their old recruiting zone at the time. Both him and Renato wanted to play for Carlton.

We ended up getting Renato, reckon he kicked a couple of matchwinners at the Lake Oval around '77.

Couple of years after we pinched Alex Ruskucklic from the Roys.

How I retain this stuff is beyond me.

Renato definitely came to Carlton....the rest is all up to you Stig!

 

[thylacine60]

This thing is going off!

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Okay, time for a controversial one in this thread!!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Bloody unlucky not to play in the '82 GF.

Then again, so was David Clarke.

I was so excited when we got Ruscuklic, but alas his best football was well & truly behind him.

Didn't they all run out onto the ground as some sort of mind games??

Before my time lads, never heard of him??

Goal kicking mids were priceless...

Was on the end of Harmesy play of the century in the 79 grand final.

Yep, was a huge Bomba fan!

Both very unlucky. I thought Marchesani was out best player in the PF & Clarke our best forward on a day not really suited to forwards.

Any love for this bloke?? I really rated him.

Certainly did.

25 turned out to be too heavy for Frank.

Ended up having to retire after going up for a mark and having the ball land on the end of his middle finger and smashed it back level with his palm... Think he was playing down at port melbourne at the time. Had a spiral scar around the finger from where they opened him up to pull the finger back out straight... Was damned close to losing it completely.

Used to have another Roy boy living just down the road in thornbury. His parents had the news agency on miller st, just over where the tram turns onto Gilbert rd.

And according to the serafini's, serge used to have the old 4square on the corner of Bell and Gilbert...

Was a funny one, Austin utterly baked Matthews, then got injured on the Sunday recovery.

By memory Robbert Klomp, gazumped all 3.

2 premierships in 30 games, Joel Selwood like....

In hindsight he was very lucky Big Footy was not around when that trade went down!!

Can confirm, was licensed also.

I found this for you.

Well, seems absolutely fitting I bring up the 1,000 post milestone in this thread. Feels like making a ton on Boxing Day!
