Don't worry he won 2 more prems with souths.
Still unforgiven by some.
Souths used to be way of life for many people in the inner city.
Even into the late 1980s and 1990’s, Ian Roberts told the story of the expectation of the club and that you weren’t supposed to leave the team voluntarily “because it was south’s”
Kind of like the force in Star Wars!
He left because he wanted more money and thought he was a bit underrated there.
But the great South’s tragedy is of course related to Mario.
Mario once spoke about his journey and working for Murdoch who unlawfully expelled Souths. He had a family to support and almost no options.
But he was forgiven and remains a giant of your club and the game.
The quality of these ex players speaks to us today. South’s used to expect its players to be fit and proper. Not perfect, but put the club first when it mattered.
