Memories of the good ol days

[tigersupporter]

I remember catching one of those plastic footballs. Me and my mate got one, I think it was a first semi (against sturt?) and as we got off the bus in the city to walk to the train station an angry sturt supporter stole the ball from my mate, but i ran past him and knocked it away from him then grabbed it and we both ran like hell, Yes they were great times.

To watch the reserves play footy.

To know you would be standing on that same mound at alberton.....

I think listening to the graspy voice of Fos Williams.....

Admiring Ron Elleway (MR Clean)

My dad always spoke highly of Eric Freeman..... #18....

I never thought he was that good dad....

He played test cricket and full forward for port.....

Ahhhh The Hatchet, what a wise old sage.


Anyone remember 5PBH covering Ingle Farm games back in the late 80s?

Yeah the Hatchet was great, did anyone ever know who it actually was?? I think Dick Jones did a column, he used to do a lot of stirring as well.

As for coverage of SAFA footy, i can recall in early 80's when they used to televise one of the games each week on one of the commercial tv stations.

I think The Hatchet was Bernie Whimpress.

Just to correct my own post the guy I was thinking of was Ian Everitt, who was also a statistician/historian of sorts. I'm 99% sure Ian was The Hatchet. I believe he has passed away now though.
