[Twizzle]

I'm so honoured, I dont know what to say

I'd like to thank you all, from the heart of my bottom, for voting for me.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

I still think Ian Johnston should be inducted.

 

[strider]

Look come on....do we really need to spell it out for all....

Ben Custo.....well done sone!

 

[PJ Marshal]

Scott Mahon!!!!

[half]

geez let's give a wrap to all the 1992 team "the dazzlers"

 

[queanbeyhole hindy fan]

hey, don't take the piss outta Kusto...he's now a "star player" in the Jim Beam cup! :lol:

 

[PJ Marshal]

The Dazzlers they were allright, they were the very first eels team i supported!

 

[ParraMatt]

Should go to Jason Taylor!

 

[Hurriflatch]

Few names

Paul Taylor, Neil Hunt, Michael Mosley, Jason Smith, Billy Rayner, John Peard, Geoff Gerard, Ron Hilditch, Mark Laurie, Steve Sharp, Ray Higgs, & Stu Galbraith

 

[Hurriflatch]

and considering he recent stepped down from a patron (if memory serves) position It wouldn't surprise me if Billy Rayner is the person. Australian rep in 1960, 203 1st grade games for the Eels,

 

[Stagger eel]

I agree with Both Rayner and Johnston!! and either one of them will do me fine, however don't rule out Rushworth, Campbell or Hambley

 

[Twizzle]

Hambly yes,

Rushworth and Campbell did not not reach Hamblys level.

I had Barry Rushworth's autograph, as a kid, in brackets he put Intercept Specialist.

Never saw him take one intercept.

 

[Moggles]

Jamie Lion?

He has retired now, so he should be in the running shurely!!

 

[The Godfather]

Always felt that Terry Fearnley does not get the recognition that he deserves.

But for a winger having the case of butter-fingers, or a shot at goal slicing away, or a ref that couldn't count to six, he may have been the first coach to guide us to the premiership.

But he was the one responsible for bringing a Wallaby forward, a centre from Gerringong, and a certain young halfback from Wagga ( 5 Rothmans medals within that lot ) to the Eels.

 

[planeteels]

I will be present at the Reunion on Saturday in the capacity of Official Photographer for the event. I will post photos on planeteels within the next day or so (after Saturday)...

 

[JessEel]
