I may have shared this previously, but I had dealings with his mother about 20 years ago. Met at their place in Earlwood, I only knew it was her as there was a huge picture of the Speech up on the wall in the lounge room.
When I saw it and looked down to see the surname, my shocked surprise made her day. Nice old lady, who has probally passed now.
Aside from her talking proudly about his playing career, she couldn’t help but have complete venom for Terry Lamb - the incident probally ruined him really.
Her thoughts is probally the reason I can’t stand him.
Hope the man is alright
I remember some of his perfectly timed passes.Everyone remembers and talks about his defence, but he was pretty dam good with attack as well
that doesn't sound good.Alan Wilson bumped into Speech at Ramsgate RSL on Thursday morning. Apparently Speechley goes there in the morning and leaves by lunch.
Funnily enough I was there on Thursday morning, but I was there from Midnight to 3am. It's my after work beer place as it closes at 4am.
They think he is a shift worker, finishes at 7am or something.that doesn't sound good.
Michael was the ballboy for my 1971 D grade grand final team in Newtown juniors. His father Ralph and brothers backed the formation of our team. I cannot speak highly enough of the Speechleys.Yeah he was an absolute favourite of mine. His tenacity and utter reckless ability to tackle and not give a hoot for himself.
