Fulton Memories

[maxta]

The best highlight package I ever seen of this Legend was on Rex Mossop show, there was a song in the background called "War horse" and it was sensational....the part of Bozo's game I found interesting was his balance, seemed to have super strengh through the hips where he seemed to bounce like a top through tackles without losing speed and this also with his swerve, which again was done without losing pace.
The complete package was also a punishing defender and had the number 1 quality that Every elite player possesses, an ultra competitive nature.
If anyone knows how to find that "Warhorse" reel would be super appreciated....Iv'e tried, but I'm hopeless on the computer.

All the memories of Bob that have come to mind over the past 24 hours strangely have had little to do with football .. visions of him down in front of the Freshie surf club with Knoxie and the Harbord boys in summer ... going into the shops up on Harbord Rd, .... seeing him on a Sunday morning down near Harbord Park during my paper run ... and in later years hanging out in the sheds .... the football memories have been replayed so many times and are legendary ... but the human side will be the most remembered by many ...

Sounds like you virtually grew up with him . What a privilege !

Did you get to talk to him much ?

Yeah, a fair bit .. but I was in a younger crew at the beach .. and only a Neville in the lower grades ...

I have always recalled the match at Redfern in 1976. Bozo's 200th. I was on my own, 15 years old to the south side of the old grandstand. The crowd were rabid. Fulton was knocked down about 10 metres out and crawled to the tryline to score. The rabbit supporters were falling out of the trees. I had to zip up my jacket as was suggested by a few oldies around me.
Exhilarating to say the least and a hard fought game.

Haha how feral was that place. I remember being on the hill there and an indigenous woman was standing flinging a bottle of sherry or something around her head yelling out "go wabbits". Everyone was constantly ducking waiting for it to fly out of her hands.

What a great life on the Majestic Northern Beaches it must have been for you all .

And the Great Bozo could have had any pretty Bikini girl he wanted

Woodsie , It would be an honour to play in a Manly jersey at any grade . Well done for having a go feathered friend !

How Bob Fulton helped Daly Cherry-Evans become a Sea Eagle for life

The Manly skipper does not know where he would be today had it not been for Fulton setting up his lifetime deal at Brookvale in 2015.

www.smh.com.au

Daly Cherry-Evans has hailed Bob Fulton as the man who helped convince him to backflip on the Gold Coast and become a $10m Sea Eagle for Life.

A month or so Kirsty Fulton was giving away Bob memorabilia to true fans. It makes sense now. I started watching (and idolising) him from the start , 1966.

I know I got it somewhere. Hopefully I can get it onto YouTube but I feel it will get knocked back on some licensing issue.
