Saw him at the Port club a few years ago and he brilliant .. What was the Buzz like?
Had good footy stories, obviously from a great era.
Wazza was pretty funny, pretty good to talk to at the bar too, sold himself on stage, he was good value, probably sold more of his memorabilia than anyone else's.
Jacko was ok, spoke mostly about his big gig in the Highwayman in the US.
Chopper was boring, just talked about how tough he was, he was no way near as big as I thought he would be.
No one could drink like Ritchie, his manager said to me "He likes pints of Bundy & dry, half/half, the more you give him, the better he'll be".
I sat with him for about 45 minutes and he downed at least 6 in that time, I think they were concerned as it was only a few days after there was a body found in a car in our carpark.
He had a couple of great Greg Mathews stories, he hated the guy. A real funny story about a Pakistani umpire that loved him and promised to not give him out if he gave him a baggy green to keep.
