78 or 79, eh?

I'm not sure of their surnames, but I'm going to take a stab at their first names:

Ten of them are called Bruce
Three are called Mick
And the rest are called Gazza

I was on that hill in front of the scoreboard for an All Blacks Test with my Dad once. I must have been about 10. There was a fight between a few drunks in the second half and one guy got pushed to the ground near me. His thigh landed on an empty ham tin. The ones that used to open with a "key".

Sliced him really deep and he was losing blood fast. I remember seeing the blood spurt with each pump of his heart. I was shocked and remember it like it was yesterday.
