Immortal Eels

Couldn't agree more - except I saw Ken Thornett play. Make no mistake, he's as good as any of those.

Can't disagree mate, but I'm not old enough to have seen him play!

Gotta love Gerringong. Mick's pub and the first takeaway shop on the left (heading south) does an awesome burger.

Parra Immortals I have seen play:

Sterling
Price
Cronin
Grothe Snr
Kenny
Hindmarsh
Hayne

Alot of great players not mentioned as I think the above list are the special ones.

Agreed with that lot.
Although, I always get a bit disappointed when Steve Ella is left out. I would add him to the list above.
Ella was an amazing player - incredibly fast and with the quickest sidestep I've ever seen. The only player I've seen that didn't lose any pace while sidestepping. A great defender too for a player of his size.

Yep. But these days I'd be concerned if I had that knickname as a football player.

What was the story with his eye again ? IIRC he ended up nearly blind in one eye ?

He got poked in the eye in a pre season game. Friendly fire i believe.

Think he ended up (almost?) with a detached retina???

Made a comeback late in the season and played in the finals ... i remember i was at the comeback game vs cronulla i think ... and i believe we lost that one
