I was about ten ,i think, and my twin brother
and good friend, chris, had just seen manly beat parra 10 -7 in the
grand final at the s.c.g.
It was the first year that they put barb wire
around the fence so you couldnt run on the ground after the match.
We were pretty dissapointed about that, i'll tell ya.
So we were half way round the hill exiting when, out of nowhere,this brown bomb exploded inches
from my face.some pissed of 'parra-poof' fan had chucked an empty
stubbie that landed on chris' head.geez, what a mess.blood everywhere.rotten
shot.missed the grass by 30 feet i reckon.
Well,we couldnt get round 57,000 fans quick enough to get to the good old st.johns ambulance crew
quuick enough so some grown-ups threw the three of us over the bloody
barb wire fence.
Talk about mixed feelings!there we were,the only victorious fans,running across the s.c.g. half of me asking, are you alright mate? and the other half shouting ''we are the champions'', whilst picking
up tufts of 'greame eadie grass'.what a great day!
