I agree, just watched it with dad, amazing interview. I loved his honesty. Starting gambling when he was 14, wow.

I find it insane you can punt on Keno at 16.

He did it 3 times in 12 months.

He was back into full training 4 weeks after his first one and played 16 weeks after he did it.

Royce Hart on tonight's episode... It might be a let down after a few ripper editions.

I'm too young to remember Royce Hart, but many who did see him think he's the best CHF ever, and better than Carey.

So I think there will be a bit of interest from the over 50's who recall footy in the 1960's.

I thought it was a bit of a let down compared to other episodes. Maybe that is because i never saw Royce Hart play but the interview didn't seem as good as previous episodes.

Managed (finally) to catch the complete interview with the Ox last night, and whilst there's been some brilliant ones, I reckon that's the best of the lot.
