Changa was a hero and a legend to me as a kid.
I
still have a signature from him my dad obtained from him one night at
the "Cecil" pub in Cronulla.
That was one of Chang's favourite places to
have a beer. I also remember in july 1970 when changa kicked a penalty
goal from the half way line at Kogarah Jubilee stadium.
I can't recall
who they were playing on that day.
He was one of a kind. And yet, in
1975, when I was at the SCG to watch the grandfinal between Saints and
Easts, I will never forget when I saw changa run out with those bloody
white boots... I will never forget when chang attempted to kick for touch
and the ball just rolled off his boot, and everyone just looked in
disbelief...however, even that game did not diminish the respect and love i
had for this great footballer....You were the greatest Changa and no
one will ever come close to you........
