Title: ... p60 - Jim Mills- comment on his days as a North Sydney Bear - by John Low NSW

For at least two of Jim Mills 3 years with the Bears I was either in the bush (teaching) or overseas and following things from a distance.

His time at Norths was not a particularly memorable one I think he was suspended almost immediately and ended up playing most of his final year in the reserves.

His off-field antics (I understand he worked as a hotel bouncer at Cremorne) were rumoured to have been as "interesting" as some of the stories already posted on your web site.

Your photo of him certainly captures the seriously scary persona he undoubtedly presented both on and off the field.

He would have sent our current crop of administrators apoplectic and spent most of his time camped at the judiciary. No "amnesia" excuses for Jim Mills!

Nevertheless, for all that, an enduring character of the game.
