Headbandits

[IAMDASH]

ALL,

Pat Rafters headbands at Wimbledon have got me thinking. Who are some of the AFLS best exponents of the headband past and present? What about sports in general?

Doull
McEnroe
Borg
Dietriech

A few of the names that come to my mind. Anyone else.

 

[Roger The Sheep]

Todd Viney & David Schwarz (circa '92)
Craig Nettelbeck
Terry Wallace

Was it Jacko that threw Doull's headband into the crowd?

Ah The Budgy. I can vaguely remember that. It happened at Waverley somewhere between 81-83. Memebers side Half forward flank At the scoreboard end. He tossed it into the crowd and Old Brucey went bonkers and chased him across the hallowed turf at Waverley

Lillee's was a belter. Canary yellow or Aussie Gold. I hear Bill and Tony arguing in the commentary box

In the Hornets vs Bucks playoffs there were times when nine or ten guys on court all had headbands...they are back in the NBA. Some guys even colour co-ordinate..like Vince Carter on occasions, wearing the white at home and purple for away.

That's the exact reason they wear them.

Gotta love the Horace Grant goggles as well. Very trendy!

Spider was soooooo ugly when he had the dreds and the headband but he has improved a bit since those days.
