Memories of the good ol days

[smac]

Wasn't it golden crumpets? To match the signs on the fence at footy park (which was used in the ad as well from memory).

And Neil Balme trying to flog bread in the 80s
"Stick that in yer mouth and eat it!" - he used to say.

Between the age of three and five I had a Centrals jumper/windcheater in trhe design of our guernsey. I loved it and was very upset when I grew out of it. If I could find a photo of me wearing it, I'd post it.

Were those the windcheaters that had a bit of an action pic on the front? late 70s i reckon.
they were great.

There were also some pretty funky lookn bucket hats aswell.

Amscol Footy Colours!

Does anyone else remember when they first came out (when they were an ice cream with wafers) and The Channel Niners use to have a "premeirship ladder" once a week that showed the order in which the teams were selling? Sturt were seemingly always on top but that was probably as much to do with their support as the fact that theirs tasted the best.
Some other memories are.....
-Rushing to Four Square every week to get the copy of "Footy World"
-Begging mum to buy Mobil Petrol so I could get a swap card.
-Buying Corn flakes just to get the swap cards on the back of the pack and then once again begging mum to go to a different supermarket if our local had the cards I already had.
-Walking town on the week before the 1971 Grand Final trying to find a kids size North jumper that had the "Victorian" V and not the "old" to the shoulders V. Couldn't find one and had to settle for the "old" one.
-Ordering twisties every lunch at school to get the badges that came in them, and then spend lunch checking out what other kids got and trying to swap.
-Watching North on the ABC replay on saturday night. The ABC showed nearly all (if not all) of North's matches at Prospect in the late 60's and early 70's.

Those were the days!!!

Also, Malcolm Blight flogging "Peters' Footy" ice-creams ..

I remember him flogging Balfours crumpets... "you've gotta be fast to beat the kids!"

Remember Bomber Clifford's send up of these at the 83 or 84 Magarey Medal count?
"Balfours Crumpets - More holes than the Woodville defence".
Blighty had the last laugh at the First semi final in 1986 mind you.

[JK]

Remember a song they brought out on the back of "Up There Cazaly", I think it was called "There's A Little Bit Of Cazaly In Us All" and made reference to several SANFL players of the day.

How about Esanda footy sticker sheets with those millions of tiny stickers you could put in ladder order after round. Took me till 10 years later to figure that's what you were supposed to do.

Reserves telecasts and Footy Times definitely- both doing their bit to contribute to a real footy culture.

Saturday evening footy replays. Even the VFL Winners on Sunday evenings were great.

Anywhere listening to the radio with 4 other round-the-ground scores.

I had one of those Esanda footy stickers sheet, they were great!!

[woodwt]

Those jumper/windcheaters were sensational!

Also, Malcolm Blight flogging "Peters' Footy" ice-creams .. caramel and vanilla in the shape of a footy with a chocolate back (slightly similar to the "Funny Feet" ice creams - remember them? - except the shape was different and there was no banana).

Memories, hey!

love it

He also did a advert in Adelaide for a removalist company , i recon it was around 83-84

Can vaguely remember the Bomber Clifford skit. I remember more clearly some type of skit with Bruce Lindner and someone else in either 83 or 84.

What was the Glynis Nunn/Cornes on her feet joke that raised more than a few eyebrows at a Magarey night ?

They were great!

IIRC the 1980 one had Neville Roberts (WT), Lindsay Head (WD), Rodney Robran (NA), Dean Mobbs (CD), Colin Casey (ST), Brian Cunningham (PA), Paul Weston (GL), Ray Hayes (WA), Geoff Baynes (SA), Michael Taylor (ND) - pic of them on one knee across the top then the draw on the bottom to put the stickers!

I reckon if anyone had one in decent nick you could get some good $$ on Ebay for it

My parents returned some books of mine from when I was a kid and one of those little square stickers was on an old school book!

It was Lindsay heaven , Not lindsay head

[smac]

So you are saying the Head = Heaven? Won't get many disputes on that call.

I think Bomber Clifford was advertising something at the time, that turned into a skit on Magarey Night about "Bomber Boy" bread (originally Baker Boy). The slogan of the bread, used to be, as the "official" SANFL bread was "It's official". The skit turned into Bomber prompting a heap of kids on the slogan and spelling it out "O-F-F", until the kids said "Bomber Boy - it's off!".

I do remember some of the skit Smithy is referring to, and reckon I'll leave it a bit alone here . It was around the time they used to count the 2's and 1's before the televised count, and players were having very happy nights prior to the telecast. A Woodville player (Peter Schwarz, from memory) got a preference vote and one player yelled out their opinion of that, at which point Max called for more decorum.

Yep, 'Bomber Boy Bread.'

Bomber also did a spoof on the Blighty removalist ad that was just as funny.

It was the 1986 Magarey Medal telecast, hosted by Kevin Crease. Probably the best awards night presentation Oz TV has ever seen - wasn't all pomp and ceremony and wasn't too serious.

Creasey's opening line was a beauty, something like: "The SANFL are so confident that Port's Greg Anderson will win the medal tonight, they put a magpie on it."

That year's medal design featured the stylised Piping Shrike to commemorate SAs 150th birthday (which was also on club guernseys.)

Ventriloquist Chris Kirby caused a stir when he made some jokes about Glynnis Nunn - think either she or her then husband was doing fitness work with Torrens at the time? Anyway, she wasn't amused...

[leftlegger]

Was that the one about the Glynis Nunn-Ondieki shoe deal.
It had a white soul and a black upper.

[leftlegger]

actually,
maybe that was some one else that married the kenyan or whatever long distance runner.

[Dogwatcher]

That was Lisa Martin.
Lovely lady.

The ol' pie and pasty night at Norwood Oval. Gold.

Yeah did that
Wasn't too happy when they didn't have any pasties, but the pies were okay...

Got to play under lights once at Norwood with the High School knock out comp.
Pizza Hut Cup I think?
