17 great characters and crowd pleasers!

[parra pete]

Tooks is one big unit these days!

I think he played at 140kg that day. Went in 15minute spurts. Currently coach of South Logan Colts and SouthLogan Development officer. AND still a great bloke. An amazing character.

You'd also have the great man Kallis ;-)

 

[Parra Guru]

Tooks should be captain coach of this team, not only a cult hero but one of the nicest most genuine blokes you could ever meet.

 

[Oscarman]

John 'Lazy' Moran.

[The Engineers Room]

As frustrating as he is to watch Eric Grothe Jnr makes the list for me and Luke Burt, a great clubman.

 

[Tin Man 4.24]

David Woods, Scott Mahon and Matt Goodwin.

 

[Captain BF]

David Woods, Scott Mahon and Matt Goodwin.

A mate of mine from high school had the biggest crush on Scotty & Jamie Mahon. He thought they were beautiful. Especially Scotty's hair... Each to there own i guess...

[lingard]

LOL Pete. Probably only 5 people on this forum have seen these guys play

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.

 

[spencer23]

needs more peter johnston

 

[Runaround Man]

Brett Atkins.
Gulio Pomponio.
Louis Takaraingi
Phil Mann
Garry Dowling

Gary Dowling.....what a tragic end to such a wonderful footballer.......what a fullback he was.........

 

[^b0ss^]

david woods was a fav of mine ....jimmy D had some fun moments for the club.

remember that fight jimmy D had and the ref said you started that ..answer" i know i smashed him " lol

i thought a player named matt spence was great for parra in the early 90s when we couldnt win a game.

i think he ended up getting caught up with drugs or something ...with another club.

another crowd fav was justin morgan.....i remember the crowd chanting his name a few times .

mind you when i say crowd favs ....i dont think anyone would go past the whole early 80s teams ....but for laughs yea ....there were a few crowd favs in the later yrs even when we werent doing so well.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Cant believe the mighty John Bilbija has not been mentioned.

A friend of my dad, played one or two first grade games, could drink his body weight (about 185kg...) each and every night.

great bloke.
