I was just involved in a discussion here: http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?p=7126949&posted=1#post7126949
and it occurred to me that Russell Crowe hadn't been praised enough for what he's done for fans of the now-defunct South Sydney Rabbitohs club.
This proud foundation club was around for nearly 100 years, being established in 1908, and disbanding in 1999 because they were sh*t and nobody went to their games.
But Russell Crowe was rich enough and had enough spare time to invent his own tribute club - one that the old Souths fans would want to go and watch, because it was owned by a famous celebrity, and wore a similar uniform to the old club.
The old Souths club won 19 premierships before they folded, and Russell Crowe's new club hopes to win twice that many (38) before he dies and the club goes bankrupt. Their inaugural year (2002) was bumpy but they have gone from strength to strength and thanks to Russell's fame, they don't have to worry about the salary cap that constrains the other clubs.
