Title: one-eyed tigers 'flying high'
Post by: Mopsy on December 16, 2008, 07:56:36 PM

Today one of our forum members 'alfabets' at 88 years of age skydived from 3000 feet over Coffs Harbour.
Alf's first memories of the Richmond Football Club are of the club jumpers and socks hanging from his mothers clothes line after being dutifly washed every monday morning during the football season.
He has been present at every premiership win since 1932 and still thinks Jack Dyer is the greatest tiger of all.
Alf keeps up his membership and reads our forum with interest

Way to go Alf.  :clapping :bow
I bet you loved every second of it, I did it with my mom a few years back for her 70th B'Day and she loved it. 
Even better is the fact that youve seen all those flags. Lets hope we are all around to see the next one.  :pray
