The following team consists of players who wore the "Mullet" loud and proud. The great eels mullet team with a rare commentary.

1 Neil Hunt: wore the classic wave mullet in 86-87 before he went hip and signed with Gold Coast.

2 Graeme Atkins: affectionatly known as "brains" wore the Rooty Hill special in the mid eighties.

3 Brian Jackson: Jacko was a cross between the bloke who sang "agadoo" and Bjorn from ABBA. poor bloke.

4 Russell Wyer: Took an ex girlfriend to watch the eels play in 96 and she made the comment after Wyer scored one of his rare tries. Yeah!! that was a good goal but gosh!! he's got to do something about that hair.

5 Eric Grothe : The Kenny MvCormack of Parra wore his classic mullet like a 60's Rock God......well folk God anyway.

6 Terry Reynalds: Most of you wouldn't know who he was. He was cut from Canterbury in the early 70's because of the length of his hair. The forward thinking eels picked him and the rest they say is history. Just look at Robert Plant than add a length to that and thats Terry.

7 Peter Sterling: the greatest mullet to come out of Wagga. now a long memory.

8 Mat Goodwin: With Kerry Hemsley had the greatest Mullet in Rugby league history. a bushies!! special.

9 Jason Bell: Belly wore the suttle Mullet. The Mullet you grow when you don't mean to grow it.

10 Gaven Catanach: you know it was going out of fashion when you allways saw him without a partner at the after match function.

11 Ian Gately: It was no wonder why Manly pissed him off. There were council regulations which didn't allow him to wear that hairstyle on the northern beachs

12: Darren Pettet: speaking of outdated hairstyles Dazza wore the Graeme Atkins Rooty Hill special.........1997!!!

13: Matt Spence: aaaahhhh!! the Parramatta/Silverwater/Parklea prison style.

Researves

14 Brett Atkins: Know this is a bloke more than likely to be found with a tent, ute and Bluey in the middle of the simpson desert. mad as a meat axe.

15 Scott Mahon: would the real Jason Donavon please stand up???

16 Tony Chalmers: the Jason Bell style didn't wear it for long. Must have had a missus that new better.

17 Shane Wherett: Know this was nice Shane!! but it wasn't the way to keep the focus off ya face.....I mean really it was 1998 after all.

If any one would like to nominate anyone else in the Goodwin-Mahon hall of fame your more than welcome.

And didn't it look even better when Guru's top went bald, and the sides were still kept long!!

Maybe late 70s Eels centre Glen West also sported an OK mullet, though the memory is a bit vague....

[And speaking of Robert Plant, I was listening to some Zep when I read this thread!]
