This is an interesting one for me, because I knew "Chicken" long after his playing days and he seemed a nice enough bloke. But my old man, born and bred Norwood High boy who grew up idolising (ie, one-eyed) Norwood put Chicken and Cornes in the same category - Both highly skillful, who'd get an opponent from a position of advantage maybe with a raised elbow, but shit themselves when confronted. Not saying either is right or wrong (wasn't there, wouldnt know), but interested in others thoughts to compare what I grew up with "as gospel" compared to perhaps a balanced view?

I remember being at that game as a small boy and puzzling as to how the commentators of the day managed to pronounce Trevor's surname as "Roy" as he featured so prominently. Any poster with a knowledge of German might be able to resolve how to correctly pronounce Trevor Reu and satisfy me at last after 57 years as to the correct pronunciation.

I never thought Cornes took a backward step either. Cornes would certainly have been done trial by video these days when he knocked Nunan at Footy Park in 1981, even though Cornes maintains to this day that it was an accident.
Probably pay back for dobbing on Greg Bennett at a tribunal hearing in 1975
Glenelg supporters were still giving it to Mick Nunan in the 85 & 86 Grand Finals for what he did to Greg Bennett

My Nana lived around the corner and I recall going there several times with Mums youngest brother to buy a "tank" loaf (seemed liked a novelty to us). My Uncle always liked to go because you might get to see Geof Motley, as he served in the deli.
