My favorite Moment is: My beloved Western Suburbs Magpies........
It was 1979 and a season had ended, all my school friends said poor
Wests, gone next year......lost players like Raudonikis, O'Grady, Boyd,
Brown, Dorahy............. 3 of them to Manly (the enemy)another 3 to
Newtown
I was told they had no chance, fast forward to a few rounds into 1980
season and off I went to Lidcombe oval, the game was vs
Manly..........what happened next I will never forget,
The mighty Magpies won 19-4, trys went by 3's and only one goal was
kicked, Manly were kept tryless.
This was the finest Magpie moment for me........later that year we won
a semi against the dragons and I remember Warren Boland jumping up and
down when Gitaeu converted a Ribot try to make it 13-7.........
One match to go, one more win and they make the grand final........it
wasn't to be the Roosters won 41-5........
However bar that...... 1980 was my greatest Magpie moment in my
life........
