[PARRA_FAN]

cant find the images but my favourites are the Steve Mortimer one kissing the ground after the Origin win in 1985 and Ron Robert's try in 1950 winning Australia's first Ashes in 30 years.

They're on the Eels website, in bigger resolutions. They almost look staged, but I'm pretty sure it's coming off in the fog after a night game.

And while we're on Jack Gibson:

With Arthur Beetson

Gibbo's bus that was permanently parked at the Granville training ground, in the days when we were playing home games out of Belmore. The players (back in the days when people had day jobs) always knew they could find him there if they ever needed him.

The premiership winning props play their last games for 2006 and for the club. One is a club legend, the other a very underrated player who took 4 years to finally get the accolades he deserves.

I thought it was the heat coming off the players bodies on a very cold night, originally. Just great shots, thanks for sharing

Great thread. League needs to show more of its old school photos more often- help the game connect with its tradition and legacy.
