[BlueAnGold]

dolphinmat... shit ya right mate, it was dud beattie. just goes to show how an old fellas memory fades

you got me on Madsen though, who is he?

 

[ozbash]

ok, who was the pom he sucked into the fight?

 

[imported_The One]

'Mick' Madsen was a tough prop from Toowoomba that played in the 1920's and 1930's. He was a part of the Clydesdales side that were undefeated in every game they played (opponents included South Sydney, NSW, NZ and England) in 1924 & 1925. Madsen wenton to play 9 tests for Australia and 40odd matches for Qld.He played his last game forthe Maroons in 1937 at the age of 37.

Anyway, I suggested Madsen because he played his last test in 1936, when he was about 35 or 36 years old.

thanks matt, i think barnes was arouind 35 when he made a return for aust when thornett and les johns were injured but sounds like madsen may have been a bit older.

ozbash, the pom was definitely derek turner, he was tearing the aussies apart. hate to admit it but i was actually at that game as a very young fella

irvine kicked the goal from the sideline after summons scored to prevent a whitewash by the poms

 

[Ramit54]

The answers are
1 Dud Beattie [Aust] and Derek Turner [Britain]
2 Craig Young
3 Sid 'Sandy' Pearce, who was aged 38 years and 158 days when he played the last of his 14 testsin 1921 againstEngland.
