I was at the 8th wonder in ‘90 in his debut season for souths & as a teenager he was close to best on field in a souths team flogged by Balmain.

Haven’t listened to him in years, but he was a good commentator at the time.

I've finally caught up with this thread and I'm gob smacked with the number of notables of our sport passing the baton this year.
To those who have departed I hope your next journey will be peaceful and just as fulfilling as the one you left.
The grand final pre-game presentations this year will have a lot of legends to say goodbye to.
One of David's greatest calls.

Vale John Bilbija




Former Balmain, Wests Magpies forward John Bilbija has died aged 65 - yet another victim of early onset dementia.
The ex hard man, who had lost much of his cognitive ability and was just a shell of the man who graced Sydney football field in the 1980s and '90s, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his Penrith home on Sunday.
Rest in peace cobber.

I agree. He was a very talented forward. Sad to hear him leaving.
Condolences to his friends and loved one's.

He left some great memories with what he did for the club , just like all of our Brittish imports have over the years .... then along came Bateman

We've had some great poms, Schofield was another.
Lockwood was a freak at times with the ball in hand, unusual for a fwd.
