Ernie Wanka

[The Rosco]

When his team had a win, he was always the first to celebrate with a big fist pump.
Then another.
Aaaaand so on.
Normally, I'd see myself out about now. But this thread seems different.

He was rock solid

Yup. Stood tall and never lost his shape throughout the full 80.

When I was in Indonesia I meet someone who’s name was f**kie

I have a Turkish friend called Ufuq - Pronounced you-f**k... I also have a 5 year old son who has to call him deli-amjar (Turkish for crazy uncle), as we know where it's heading if he knows his real name.

Just discovered this thread. I briefly worked with Ernie when I arrived in Darwin just after Cyclone Tracy. He was a civil engineer and a nice bloke. Growing up with that name obviously toughened him up for later life. The family name was actually pronounced 'Wonka' (as in Willie), but that didn't help much.

Is Ernie still with us?

Used to get away with rubbish on the face all the time.

You wouldn't pack a scrum with him.

I have an old Big League program with him named as number 13 in the parra team , I think it is a 1977 program from memory

Parra have had a lot of Wankers in their teams over the years. Ernie was just one of them.
