South Sydney Rabbitohs ... Greatest Clubman Nominations / Stories
|
From Quigs. from EOTB
John Sattler is one that comes to mind, George
Piggins with red and green blood, Clive Churchill,
Bernie Purcell. Souths are another club that
is packed with great club men. Hope you can help
me with some more..
From Thommo. from League Unlimited Rugby League
Forum
Way before my time, but I doubt you could go past Churchill for Souths.
From Hodgee. submission to Era of the Biff.
Bernie Purcell, Paul Sait and Michael
Andrews....gave it their all for the Rabbitohs
.
From Dave, from submission to Era of the Biff
Nominated George Piggins, Ian Roberts and Mario Fenech of SOUTH SYDNEY
I have followed this club for 30 years.
You hear of the legends over and over but in my 'league consciousness' I'll
rate 3 of equal importance.
I'll give George Piggins a guernsey, for saving the club. I owe my league past, present and future to his
resoluteness and quiet genius. He is a living treasure. When we were booted
out, I give up league. Now I attend matches-thanks to George.
Next, I'll choose Ian Roberts. Roberts was a gifted footballer. He was ahead of the
pack in every respect. He was strong and feared.
But the greatest player who ever played for Souths is Mario Fenech. No other player who has
pulled on the vermillion and myrtle, has played with as much passion. At
his peak 84-91,he was incomparable. He was constantly overlooked for
test and origin selection (although he did play a few games in the latter
series).I once saw a young and immature Mario try to belt the crap out
of a seasoned Ken Stewart at Redfern after Stewart (now back at
Souths)took up an offer from the eels. That was sheer bravery and gross
foolishness. They smashed each other and kept playing (as they used to do in
the biff days). Mario played hard but always fair.

"I posted a thread on several Rugby League Forums in the
UK and Australia and above are some of the responses. No major
correspondence will be entered into but further comments are
always welcome. Where there has been a detailed response then
I will link it to another page for the convienience of reading
it at your leisure. Of course this blockhead is not familiar
with clubs from the northern hemisphere so I have relied on
the goodwill of those submitting comments" - Quigs.
