Anyone else remember the changa song they made. He was an absolute legend and a very close friend of my old man. I met changa many many times - a top bloke.
My dad went to everyone of the 11 in a row and stood below the Sheridan stand (can you imagine that - I cannot). He said saints had a lucky dressing shed at the SCG which they rarely lost from - I recall it was the one on the left but OT or others may correct me.
I have been to every GF after that, including when he made us sit through until the final siren in 1975. He refused to leave the dragons early no matter what - a true Saint. To this day I still don't know why dad "moved spots" from his lucky spot below the Sheridan stand - after the 11 in a row we sat under the scoreboard under one of those green mini roofs for those that remember. We lost 2 sitting there. Maybe cash was tougher. In 1977 and 1979 we were back at the Sheridan stand. In 1985 his health was no good and he missed the GF.
Anyway, For those who want to get a bit of fire before the season starts and remember the power of the red V, I suggest you put the below in you tube:
