For those of you who missed it, Ed Langdon taunted Collingwood by describing them as 'one trick ponies' prior to last weekend's game.
As it turns out, that one trick of 'beating Melbourne' turned out to be pretty handy. His other call of 'all Duck no dinner' foreshadowed North's last premiership reunion quite nicely.

Lesser known are Ed's other comments throughout history that are often attributed to other historical figures. Such as:

Neville Chamberlain Ed Langdon 1938: "Peace in our lifetime"

Edmund Burke Ed Langdon: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil that good men do nothing.”

Ken Olsen Ed Langdon 1977: "Nobody would want a home computer"

Martin Cooper Ed Langdon 1973: "Cell phones won't replace wire systems"

Mayor of Hiroshima Ed Langdon 1945: "What the $%^* was that?"
 
Some random General Ed Langdon 1914: "It'll all be over by Christmas"

I'm old enough to remember Ed Langdon writing this article back in 1924, back before he was wearing a headband even. So he was always making big calls. Only time will tell if he got this one right.

  • "No I am not scared and neither should you be!"
  • "We will welcome them with bullets and shoes."

  • 'We have destroyed 2 tanks, fighter planes, 2 helicopters and their shovels. We have driven them back."
  • "Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire."

  • "They tried to bring a small number of tanks and personnel carriers in through al-Durah but they were surrounded and most of their infidels had their throats cut."
