Yeah Rex was always good for a laugh. He often got the players names wrong during a game. Once on his Sunday morning footy show he unintentionally swore on live TV. His stunned look was hilarious. Frank Hyde nearly fell of his chair.
It was great to listen to Frank call that 1977 grand final replay and thanks for sharing OT. So, so glad that we won it. I went to the first game when it was 9 all draw even after extra time. Could only watch the replay on TV.
how are you doing mate, tiger black ,now your bringing up memories he was one of my dear old dads drinking buddies.I was going to mention one of the best - in my humble opinion - and that was Tiger Black , however only we other old oaks would know him .
He brought the listener right into the middle of the scrum - fists with the odd stray boot included !
It was so realistic that I would check myself for any bloodstains after the match !
I agree Gareth. I crooned along with him several times when some station put his song on, particularly Danny Boy, which is one of my old time favourites.
Your father was indeed a fortunate man , he certainly would not had been bored having a few schooners with him and undoubtedly left his company with a smile upon his face .
I didn’t mind them either Phantom , I believe that all the commentators had their own character and were undoubtedly far better than the staid commentators of channel 9 .
Yes, I recall hearing him on radio once discussing gang tackles but off course he got mixed up and said "bang" instead of "tackle". I could hear the others on the radio discussion roaring with laughter.
lost count of how many times i saw old frank walk out to the sideline with his beloved card table
It generally happens dragon thomo when there is a lull with this Thread and no-one has any rumours to get our hearts ticking faster. I am sure that there is something happening behind the scenes.
He was. An explayer as well.
It's unfortunate that your inevitable attempt at a celebrational Irish jig ,after our epic win over the Storm, is the likely cause of the knee twist.
Still nearly 7 hours left for another Friday signing announcement!
things are eerily quiet NrlNrl
Probably your best post!!
Love your post Dracula ! I got up to close the bedroom window the other night without switching the light on and wouldn’t you know the foot got caught in the bedspread and then twisted the knee .
Have a good look on who's thread you are on Ayios Yiorgos .
