when i was a kid mid 80's, i went to Lidcombe to watch manly play, and watched them warm up out the back, and as they finished and he went to walk up to the back of the grandstand i asked for his autograph, and he said ' no, not now mate'.
i don't like Bob Fulton either
I took groups of country guys to the GF's in the mid 80's-90's.
Manly used to have a Grand Final lunch on Friday before the game.
So over 3 years I bought about 120 people in paying say $100 a head ( in those days a lot of money ) , and as a thank you at the end of that Sea Eagles marketing gave me a bottle of port, inscribed with my business name.
I spied Fulton sitting up the front and thought , you beauty I'll get him to sign it for me.
So up I go, " excuse me Bob, I'm wondering if you could sign this bottle of port for me" , Bob " are you a club sponsor", me "
No just a boy from the bush who brings in money for the GF lunch " Bob " no, Bugger off I only sign stuff for full time sponsors".
Terry Randell was sitting at the table, heard the response and said " I'll sign for you buddy".
Fulton may be an immortal but doesn't make him a better man.
