My sister works checkout at a supermarket. On the anniversary of our grandma's death, she wears a couple flower buds from a plant we took from her garden.

The other day, none other than Tex came through. He saw the flowers and asked "are they real?"

They then proceeded to have a long chat about grandma while my sister swipes through his groceries.

What a bloke !
My cousin works in a particular food bar he frequents. Everyone had a giggle when one of her colleagues (a non-footy follower) asked 'What name for that order?' and he simply replied '...Taylor'. They say he never pumps himself up or acts arrogantly in any way - in fact, seeming a bit shy when people recognise him. The manager sucks up to Tex big-time - hell, I probably would too.

He made up the story

And I have no doubt the Port board version is bullshit too. Trying to make themselves feel better over not having such a revered captain probably.
Boak is a really good guy
 
Oh, piss off mate.

I'm sure the stories you've been told (and particularly those stories you choose to remember) about Tex haven't been heavily tainted by a massive dose of your own anti-Crows confirmation bias:rolleyes:.

The obsession of Port fans regarding Taylor Walker, who is well liked by all those who meet him and those at our club, is just pathetic. You don't see us wasting our time digging up dirt (or just plain making up s**t) on Travis Boak.

The bloke is a laid-back country boy who speaks his mind. If he played for your mob, you'd be talking up how "Port Adelaide" his dinky-dye attitude is:rolleyes:. We get told often that we're a plastic, soulless club but here is a bloke who is passionate about our footy club and bleeds for it and all you can do is find reasons to knock him as usual.
He's a troll but that last paragraph is correct, if he was playing for Port they would love him.
 
Apparently tex rocks around the club including team meeting on his mini Segway

Classic
 
I saw Travis Boak at a grocery store in Glenelg yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Not sure if story is real or a joke. But I laughed.

You are a useless bunch
 
I didn't say he wasn't. He definitely doesn't get as much recognition as Tex. And rightly so, considering the circumstances last season which Tex led our players through.
Not sure I agree with this. He is interview eddington more regularly and had a much bigger role than text in the captains documentary. Text is awesome but it is hard to take anything away from boak
 
Funnily enough I know someone who works at Port and they tell me Boak is a nob, and yet Wingard is a champ. Bizarre. Goes to show that you can't believe everything you read in the papers or see on telly - in real life they can be very different.
Was it wingard?

It's almost like - I dunno - people have different opinions on who is or isn't a great bloke. Crazy man, crazy.
