That's all right, son. One day someone will say the same about you. :lol:

I saw Lynch, Thornett, Hambly, Lingard, O'Reilly (in his first spell with us); Fred Pickup. And when I was a kid in primary school (Parramatta East Primary School - "Ever Aim High" ) my very favourite player was the winger Archie Brown (also our goal-kicker). Those were the days.

I guess if we are just looking at crowd-pleasers, it's hard to go past Ken Thornett as the greatest ever.

They were the days Lingard.... Archie Brown.... wow, as a kid I adored him as I did Dick Thornet... still can't forget the field goal he kicked from the sideline around 1/2 way at the Sydney Sports Ground. What a freak he was and a great bloke as well. Gees Willie Mason could learn a thing or two from Dick about attitude etc.
