Laziest Poster on Figbooty
I know who I am taking out of Gryan Miers and Connor Rozee... all day everyday. And outside of Geebung (and possibly inside) I doubt anyone is doing differently.

What an absolute madlad.
'Ned McHenry' still sounds like a fake name that somebody made up on the spot.

Gryan Miers and Ned McHenry.
Two footballers I'd honestly never heard of until I read the last few posts in this thread.
I'm still not convinced they're real.

The most interesting facet of the Miers story is his dad invented the blades football boot and somehow isn’t a multigazillionaire.

Didn't have the funds to pay for the patent process, is usually the history behind these stories.

I can’t remember whether he sold the rights for magic beans or got screwed out of his share by predatory business practices, but it was well and truly stitched up at one point.

He did register the patent. maybe he sold it for a lump sum as he needed the money, rather than take a royalty stream and get benefit of growing sales over time.
His first prototype was in 1982. Formed company Xblades in 1989. Lodged the patent application in 1992, was granted final patent in October 1994,7 months after the article in the Washington Post you quoted. First retail store commercial sales 1995 and looks like 2005 was when they gained a decent volume of sales.

Not uncommon that inventors sell rights/patents before they have made a decent presence in the market place as they usually just don't have the monies to commercialize their inventions properly. He might also be doing better out of it that he lets on despite not being a multi-millionaire out of it.
Ok from this article on Gryan after he was drafted in late 2017, looks like the old man sold the business before it had decent commercial success, especially overseas sales.
Born March 30, 1999, parents Dave and Kerry gave him the unique first name because they liked Ryan but wanted to make it more unique.
.....
Dave invented the Blade football boots — initially just for himself, before turning into a successful business which he sold just before Gryan was born

I thought he scoffed at making a lot of $$$$ out of it. Maybe it was both.
I trust your recollection over mine late Friday nights.
