Just wanted to say a big thank you to Arthur Wilson and the Fitzroy historical society for organising the Roaring 80s function tonight. Had a wonderful night and loved mingling with the ex players and coaches. Really helps to keep the Fitzroy tradition alive. Just wanted to share my favourite story from the night which I have also posted on the Brisbane board....
When Alastair Lynch arrived at the club from Tassie, Paul Roos and Gary Pert took him out to a nightclub in Melbourne. After a big night drinking, Pert took a piss in an alleyway. Little did they know but a police officer saw the whole thing.
The officer asked Roosy what his name was (Paul said he must have been the only bloke in Melbourne who didn't know him haha). He thought he could get away with giving him a fake name, so he looked around to think of one. He came out with 'David Jones'. The officer seemed to buy that. Then he asked Perty what his name was...'I'm his brother, Fletcher Jones' he replied. Again the officer believed that, so they thought they would have a good chance of getting off. That was until he asked Lynch what his name was.... 'My name is Ken' said Lynch. 'What is your surname?' asked the officer. 'Tuckey fried chicken' said Lynchy.
An absolute classic and the whole room roared with laughter
