* They played our theme song and Rhett said it's probably the only time this year we'll hear it lol.

* If you missed the booksigning you can pick up a KB & Tommy signed book at Angus and Robertson's.

* Richo doesn't like being called Richo because he got called Richo a lot wealking down the street. No he gets called Ricky a lot

* If you can call up SEN and tell who wears #42 (Andy Collins) you'll win a signed book. Billy of Heidelberg didn't know lol. Don't bother ringing a little kid won it.

Well, I can assure I don't get $40 from the sale of the book.

But I appreciate you purchasing the book.

May I suggest starting with page 82- Max Oppy. Sadly his last recorded interview.

Actually since the second reprint (which is onsale atm at book stores), a few players have sadly passed away.

Frank Hughes Jnr, whose has his own chapter on his father, Checker Hughes.

Peter Sherman, who appears in the Jack Dyer section, so too Mr Alan Maple.


I have done some considerable additional interviews in the last year (Rioli, Jess, Monteath, Raines, Cloke, Parsons, Albiston, Stokes) and hope in the coming year or two we can add those in.

I went back and re-read Oppy's chapter over the weekend. Hiding the plaster for his broken wrist from the umps when they came into the rooms before the game is a great story  :lol
