A quiet night here in the Pakeha household, and not a lot that inspired us to watch the idiot box. So me and the lad fished out the 20 odd minute One Club video that was sent out to us last year, followed by the Gavin Wanganeen Story video. Bought back so many sweet memories. Doubly so for me as I used to follow the Bombers in the VFL/AFL before Port made it. What a talented group they had in the mid 90s.
The rubberman himself was absolutely amazing, and to relive that Prelim.... I was amaxed at how well I could remember the passages of play, given the amount I used to drink in those days.
The lad wants to get Gav to autograph his arm, so he can get a tattooist to make it permanent. Hmmm. 13 might be a bit young for that !
I suggest if anyone wants a bit of an uplifter in these days of no footy, do yourself a favour and source this DVD.
