TOPIC:

Started with Ted Kilmurray, moved to Dobbie Graham and Brian Mcgregor, SF Winger Miller (no12 I think) Brownie and McAullay with Gary Sidebottom and Billy Walker, Keith Doncon and then Don Rintoul. Later Butch Baroni and George Gianakis cos of the work they did to be at the level the got to, Paul Vasoli, Peter Cransberg, Michael Christian and then Devon Perry and now Craig Wulf and Brendon Lee.

Bob Shields was an opposition player who was just plain brilliant but of all the oppo players Brian France, Doug Green, Joe Mckay and as a purely personal one Laine Spencer (he is my nephew and he was better than Claremont let him be and Neesham treated him).
