SCANLENS FOOTY CARDS CIRCA 1980

The Newtown Jets workhorse

1980 Rothamns Medal winner who went west and so did his career

Graeme the Great

Good looks are fleeting but class is forever

A drink Neil Pringle named after him - Corowa Black & Gold - tasted like real piss

Performed for his country but rarely for his club

A southern suburbs shopping centre was named in recognition of his football ability

The Shire's Russell Fairfax

A very slow moving Queensland front rower

Wanted to be a Jet just like his father

Was sat on his arse by a well aimed Fat Albert elbow

Poor man's Russell Fairfax

An elbow to the head was known as a John Harvey

Who? Well he played for Australia!

Another in a long line of bombheaded wingers

Started out as a lock, ended up in the front row

A very hard man

A non-indigenous Cliff Lyons

Along with his brother Daniel, auditioned for the role of James Bond

Went North from St.George

A country gentleman

A lisping tax man

Who would've believed he'd produce a Prima Donna

Parramatta's hardman

Bob the bear

Before he owned a sports store he was a footballer

Always remembered as a Les Boyd victim

Another in a long line of famous Mervs - Hicks, Cross and the fabulous Lewisham schoolboy star, "Merv" Smith

A crack centre in his day

Doesn't receive any Christmas cards from Bill Cloughessy

A little known fullback

Played the lead in the movie "The Dark Knight"

Before Lech Walesa there was Ziggy Niszcot

South Sydney pseudo-hardman

Looks so wrong

A pig in every sense of the word

A battler before De Bresac got a guernsey

Similar to his political namesake, Walsh's memoirs were titled "Confessions of a Failed Halfback"
