R.I.P. Mark Harris

Yes the man was a rooster , but nevertheless a damn fine player and with his nose spread all over his face you just had to love him regardless of what team you followed . Yet another player on his way to the pearly gates - r.i.p. big fella .

Used to give me nightmares in the 70’s when he played for Easts - smashed us up a number of times
Remember being happy as a kid when he missed the 75 GF thought we had a good chance then lol
Did some gridiron as well in the States
RIP

Rest in peace big fella.
He was a very exciting player to watch.
Basically, he'd just walk / run, over people.

One of my favourite players as a kid. I remember running onto the ground at the end of a match at the SCG and patting the big bloke on the back, a small thing but a treasured memory for an 11 year old footy fan. Great player, hard as nails. RIP mate.

Tough as they come the big man.

F*^#$ing cancer so many effected and such a horrible way to go. I hope research can find a cure soon.

Mark Harris was "the guru" long before Grothe graced the sidelines of a footy field.
Funny how people wax lyrical about the big wingers of today but have forgotten about the big wingers of yesterday.
Mark Harris, Lionel Williamson, Eddie Lumsden, Brian James, Terry Fahey but to name a few were all big men who would run over the top of forwards and backs alike and all were fleet of foot.
Mark Harris was a player who was terribly hard to dislike even though he pumped us on several occasions.
Good bloke and a face that was good for radio (that nose wow).
Sad ending for a bloke that made many people very happy with his exploits and kind demeanour on and off the paddock.

Yes mate, the very opposite of most of todays players............. hard as nails, said very little but did his talking on the field.

As Jack would say, "Played strong, did good!"
