What a blast from the Past. I remember him best for scoring a try against the Broncos. After he proudly put the ball down, he stood bolt upright when a Bronco player (who I cant recall) innocuously brushed him on the way past. O'Doherty (looking for a penalty) threw his head back and hit the deck like he'd been shot point-blank. An award winning performance. He would have made the Italian National Soccer side very proud indeed.
:lol:
That's who the bloke was.. O'Doherty.... I love this story.
I know this very well.
It was vs the Broncos.. and the Brissy player was Gene Miles. What happened was O'Doherty went down and the nearest magpies player was Allan Falah.
Allan Falah happened to be my P.E teacher in High school.
Falah didn't see the (absence of) contact, and straight away started to swing fists at Gene Miles.
However Gene Miles had the better of him... it was pretty funny as it was a friday night footy game, and every kid in school would have seen it.
On Monday, Falah was laughed at because he had two black eyes and a swolen cheek.
