About Me

Footy-head since I fell in love with the game in 1973 after receiving the Murfett "Aussie Footy" game for my 8th birthday. Born and bred in the western suburbs, I'm a passionate FOOTSCRAY supporter. David Smorgon might like the name Western Bulldogs, but they'll always be Footscray to me and many others.

Favourite Players

Robert Groenewegen, Bob Murphy

Favourite Moment

1. In a reserves game in 1978 at the Western Oval, from deep in the pocket at the Barkly St end, Peter Welsh sent a handball towards a team-mate in the goal square. He overcooked it and it went straight through the big sticks. The goal umpire thought he'd kicked it and signalled a goal, putting the Dogs in front against Essendon just before the final siren. The sight of the Essendon cheer-squad going nuts at the injustice will always be a highlight for me. 2. October 1st, 5pm. I think you know why.
