I forgot about the Falcon....it's so famous it's even used in other sports,i've heard it used by union and netball commentators.

 

[Willie Ray]

Isn't the story that after being hooked he was already in a pub up the road as the bunnies went out for the second half of that semi final?

not sure about that but you couldn't blame him,
whenever his name comes up the first thing I remember is him walking to the tunnel in front of the grandstand a completely shattered man.

The Original Falcon... timeless..... Tooves as well..

Re Cariage - there could be an argument that he should be up for an immortals nomination.. One memorable performance has us all still talking, his own dedicated thread here...

Long after Paul passes from the face of this earth, I'm sure his performance will still live on in the hearts and minds of league fans fortunate enough to witness, and their stories will be passed onto their children, and their childrens' children.... hence Cariage reaches immortality..

 

[Perth Red]

Mark broadhurst - decking the gobby Q’land hooker at craven park
John Dorahy - missing the ‘86 CC final kick at goal that was the start of my clubs demise
Will chambers - not throwing the pass in the GF
John Deveraux- missing the tackle that cost GB the 92 World Cup
