My fav pic EVER!

It is a bloody classic isn't it. A symbol of a much simpler day gone by where you could show your dislike for a club just by popping one of their jumpers in a bin!

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Another all time favourite of mine.....ahhh the memories!!

Pretty sure it is the Dominator and Kenny Hunter int he background.

Of course I know exactly what that picture is , but just in case, for those who don't really know, what's the story behind that pic TL? Who and what? For those who don't know of course....

I have actually stolen Aph's thunder so will let her tell the story. Aphrodite made that pic famous on this board so it is over to her...

I have just read through the first 16 pages of this thread and have tears running down my face, some of the funniest stuff I have read in ages. This is usually where I hang out during the trade rumour stuff.

No, mate. I remember him as fondly as you. The ultimate gun forward. Cause he played his fair share of crap games doesn't change that. But he was no Coleman, that's all.

59 goals in his first season Thy not a bad effort, if he played for us while MM was coach he would've been shown the door for kicking more than 40 goals in each of his 3 years

NANE

Sorry Thy, I have no idea what NANE means.

 

[thylacine60]

I ain't falling for that one..........

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Teehee

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Fair enough, I will leave it with the two of you. I actually don't know what it means.

 

[FootyGeek]

You'll like this one. 14 goals straight kicked by the Blues in 1984 against the Bulldogs. The commentators were getting more and more excited as the accuracy kept happening. (Most goals kicked without a point in club's history)

 

[thylacine60]

arceri-esque accuracy...........

 

[Just Kreuzing]

14 straight from the Whistler also....

Geez Hunter was versatile !!

In Down Memory Lane language....utility!

 

[Robbo's my hero]

In Down Memory Lane language....utility!

It was an authentic description of footballers on the Scanlan footy cards. I reckon that the famous Bert Thornley, 1970 premiership player, was described as "utility".

 

[thylacine60]

I miss the mighty ruck-rover! Serge..........

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We made no effort on the Scanlons footy cards, was always a guy wearing the jumper, and trakkies in front of the Heatley Stand doing the fake handball.

I wanted Teddy Whitten action kicks in full get up!!
