Steve Menzies walking a dog near the Manly corso after he'd gone to super league (must've been off season).
Cliff Lyons picking up fish and chips in Harbord.
Brett Stewart on crutches gingerly making his way through back streets of Queenscliff.
Half the Manly squad of the winning years at the steyne and the wharf hotel on multiple occasions (Watmough and Matai both smoking durries). Menzies and Robertson were being friendly with punters, Lyon and Matai not so much.
Not a player, but I saw Russell Crowe walking down Macquarie Street in the city in a Rabbitohs jersey with a dude who looked like his bodyguard. Said "go Manly" as I passed him, and he smiled.
Saw Watmough at the sushi place on Manly Corso eating the most sushi I'd ever seen anyone eat in one sitting. Just plate after plate down the gullet. That guy is a machine.
Saw ex Manly player Luke Williamson at the Manly flea market selling a bunch of stuff including a Manly training vest and tracksuit. I bought them - much too big for me.
My dad said Freddy Fittler cut him off on in his car at Narrabeen then gave my dad the finger. My dad is a Penrith boy and his opinion of Fittler was subsequently lowered.
Saw Kieren Foran and Mitchell Pearce getting ice cream next to the old video shop in Manly. They were pissed.
Was working as an electricity meter reader in Narraweena and Hoppa poked his head out of a window and said "take a few numbers off mate".
Haven't lived in Sydney for a while now, but back when I was on the northern beaches you saw Manly players everywhere.
