Speaking of Alex '1 point'.....I have a cracker of an Alex story from 97 at Prossie oval. Sturt won the game that day to ensure we played finals for the first time since 88. Before the game during the ressies, I was standing with Dad under the scorers box area when I see Fab Phil walk past hurriedly followed by Alex. Alex was asking him, "Phil, Phil, who is in today, Phil, Phil, who is playing today? Phil Phil Phil". Alex must have been following him for a while as I reckon Phil had had enough just as they got near us and angrily turned around (about 3m in front of me and Dad) and said....
"FOR FK SAKE ALEX, WILL YOU JUST FK OFF AND LEAVE ME THE FK ALONE, I GOT NO ******* IDEA WHO IS PLAYING, JUST ******* FK OFF ALRIGHT!!!!"
Me and Dad were in stiches laughing our heads off, tears coming down our faces it was so funny. Poor Alex stopped short, looked down, a second later, looked up to see Phil running off, then took off again yelling "Phil, Phil, who is playing today"!!
Absoluletly the funniest thing i have ever seen at the footy!!!
Good ol Alex...he never fails to ask Dad who is in the budget and over the years has come to realize that I now cant get to games so is asking Dad "Where James at?" I even spoke to his this year too over the phone.
