Hi everyone, just made my way down here and what a fantastic site this is. I thank you one and all for posting our function in the other forums, and I can tell you we are well on the way for a great night. We have secued all players that played in the 91 Grand Final for the night. If anyone is interested in attending this function could you please contact Dandie at his website: www.dandyredlegs.footballclub.org.au
Would have been a sure thing to make the team. Top bloke, and his tale is a bit of a legend around the place my family holidays at, as he holidays there too.
Shame his son is a Collingwood supporter. :twisted:
Saw with interest that the 1976 Sandringham V Oakleigh game may be on video/DVD....
I was the scoreboard attendant at Sandy that day....whoever lost would be relegated...
Some huge fights on the field...and off the field as well....the fence near the scoreboard collapsed during a crowd brawl...Alf Beus was reported for striking a boundary umpire...
And best of all the Zebras won....and along with the Borough, were the only 2 teams to never be relegated
2nd last in 1976...then went on to make the Grand Final in 1977...and get flogged by 100 points...
Took 27 years to get revenge ...
geez it was worth it though!!!
