souvenir match balls

[FitzroyJamesDio]

i know its a mongrel thing to do to our struggling club...but as a youngster i nicked a footy from the junction after bernie quicked ten against st kilda

23 july 83 (the last year is scratched) i think ive written on it..yes still got it

bernie kicked ten that day..i think it was his fifth goal

he booted it over the white stand into the back park area..and the ball didnt come back

then after the game had started up again it came from over the stand and bounced right in my lap..we held it up and people were like keep it keep it..so we did..sat on it for the rest of the game and took it home


hope no one gives me the guilts on how that one ball cost me my club..lol

i do kinda feel guilty actually..but at the same time i think i donated more than what the balls worth in fundraising

Sorry Kev but Ido have a match ball also the first one used at the WACA, Arthur Wilson gave it to me, and I have one of those painted ones from the 1970's with the autograph of an up and coming FFC identity playing in the Under 19's "Alan McConnell".

I actually had a FFC jumper from the 1890's given to me and it was real, but the bloke carked it and his family took it back now they have lost it, f**kwits, I got a box of footy records given to me about 1994 with records form the 30's, 40's, and right up to the 80's there must have been about 250 of them and yes I still have them, I actually started colecting when my uncle was the Tommy Couch of the 60's, an ugly doorman, se we have a connection back to my Great Grand Father who played with Fitzroy in 1884, Dan Robinson, the club had his members ticket and bloody lost it.
