I think the term hanger referes to the player hanging in the air after the ball has been taken, where as specky is a term more used as a straight up and down grab on the shoulders of another:p.

I swear it makes sence to me!

I thought specky simply meant Spectacular.

I asked because I've only heard hanger used in the last 3 or so years.

I think you may be quite right there EBIAC

a Hanger..... is where a player jumps early for the ball & seems to hang in the air (or on the back or shoulders of another player) until the ball is caught.

a specky.... is basically all in one motion & alot quicker to complete the mark... no hang time so to speak ...... :D

It has kind of popped up of late, just one of that terms that gets thrown around and latches on.

Hanger has been around for years, comes and goes.

Can also refer to a slag on the roof which has started to droop down - but never quite dropped.

Someone who wont fckoff.

Kind of O/T but can someone tell me when it became "hanger" insted of "specky"? I've just been pondering that recently.

'hanger' sounds too metrosexual-and-Eddie-ised for my taste.

In my day (late 70s early 80s) we'd simply call them a JEZZA, and for the sake of this board that should be the operative term!
 
there is a pic of it on pg 39 im todays HUN...... unfortunately they did not put the pic on the website for all to see.
he deffinitely had his knees on top of Johnsons head.... was a great grab :thumbsu:
Must have caught it between frames ;)

In my minds eye..........he stood upright on Johnson's head.......who was airborne...........and plucked it with one outstretched hand..........

.....and I'd only had one light beer.:eek:
