1968 World Cup Final
at the SCG |
25/11/2003 |
|
|
The 1968 World Cup Final was played at the SCG between Australia
and the Frogs. (France).
I was a kid of 12 -13 then and a group of us had travelled by
train from Gymea in the Sutherland Shire to the SCG in the centre
of Sydney to take in the final. As a kid in those days it was
great to sit on the famous "Hill" and take in the atmosphere.
It was also a great spot to make a quid, because you got to
collect all the small beer glasses that the old guys drunk on
the Hill and you got a zack for them when you took them back
to the bar under the famous old scoreboard. It was a real good
money spinner for us kids.
We were always looked after by the Old footie guys and it was
fun. They would always stockpile their own empties and slip
them to you when the game was quiet.
This particular game I will never forget because Simms's was
the radar goal kicker for the Roos and they won by 20 odd points
to the frogs one and only field goal....(I think)
What I wont forget about that game was the generosity of the
Old guys when we would come back from taking their empties glasses
back and collecting the large sums of small change, these same
old blokes would wage us a zack each that Simms would miss a
goal attempt he was about to take. Usually these shots were
right in front or close there to. If he kicked it, and most
times he did, we got another zack off a few of them, and if
he missed they wouldn't take our dough.
Ah the good old days, imagine that happening now..... and thanks
Ekka for the success rate.
