I'm very similar. I'm a 1957 vintage.
Was at the '65 Grand Final, different one - Redcliffe v Valleys - Big Artie had just made the change from centre to second row and played a big part in Redcliffe's first Premiership win.
Been to every BRL / Queensland Cup Grand Final since then.
I remember going to a game at Langlands Park in about 1961 - would have been Wynnum v Easts - one of my brothers was playing on the wing for Wynnum at that time. I started going regularly in 1965 and my memories of the football start from then.
Hadn't thought about having seen the various tackle rules in my time - I think they'd just gone from a 3 yard to a 5 yard ruck when I started going.
What was your favourite grand final apart from 1982?
I went to the 1983 play-off for fifth spot at Lang Park.
