I just had a flashback to Linga's first game v Essendon when he snapped the ball out on the full from 5m out directly in front.
At the time i cursed what appeared to be an overweight draftee who clearly wasn't the answer to our forward line problems - and above all looked to be the uglyiest guy in the afl with a face that was redder than his hair when he worked up a sweat. i wanted him traded, delisited, run over - anything except running around in our 1's.
5 years later, the relatively attractive blonde bombshell is now my most admired footballer in the afl, and i would only ever consider buying an AFL men for all seasons calendar if Lingy was on the cover.
To you i raise my beer and thank you for being the most inspirational player I have just about ever seen - here's to Lingy!!!
