Two of a Kind - Biography of Chris & James Gowans

[UK Fan]

I'm sure it will be a great read. I've got absolutely zero interest in it, but I'm sure it's a great read nonetheless.

That was Ken hinkleys summation of the creed from memory.

Sudjai Cook feature in the index? Or does confidential SANFL mediation for onfield 'chat' not fit in the with the knockabout Aussie larrikin character arc?

Sudjai Cook I remember him, funniest thing I ever saw was him getting escorted out of Craigmore High, he visited his old man who was a art teacher there, walked around telling everyone he was a Crows player, most people told him he was shit and our student PE teacher would become a better footballer.

He lost the plot completely!!!!!! and as the years went on we were proven right!

Yet he's won more SANFL flags than Peter Vivian.

I love Leigh whickers interesting quote in chapter 3.

"James and Chris are the best thing to happen to our great league(SANFL) since Garry Mcintosh announced his retirement"

Two Gowans = one McIntosh seems a bit weighted towards the Gowans to me.

Maybe if they were quadruplets it'd make more sense.

Eugene Warrior: most Glenelg supporters refer to him as a Norwood player

Two minutes and a lucky Phil McGuiness hoof away from being a Norwood legend.

Pretty sure Eugene played a pivotal role in Norwood coming back against Glenelg during the 99 finals when Glenelg were 26 points up into time on of the last quarter.

And lost.

Not as many as Matty Slade though

[topsywaldron]

So by your reckoning Slades a better player than Cook who's a better player than Vivian?

Sounds about right to me.

Sounds about right to me.

You only had to watch Slade for five minutes to realise he was better than Cook!

It says alot about the coaches Centrals have had considering in your mind we haven't had single footballer better than any of Norwoods yet made 12 straight GF's

I'm assuming it was whickers attempt at humor.

Cook is not in the same universe as Vivian. Never saw how Cook made a Crows list.

[FlyingHigh]

Will be an interesting read when I get around to it, won't be rushing out to buy it!!

I'd love to see a book featuring say 10-12 well known footballers, perhaps one from each club, from the 80-90's, 40-60 pages kind of like short (auto)biographies.
Could be, as a start:
Nwd - Aish, McIntosh
Bays -Salisbury
North - Redden, Sanders(?), Klomp(?)
Torrens - Lindsay
Port - Ginever, Hodges
Sturt - Paynter, Davies

How did Peter Vivian get dragged into your sniping Topsy?
