Funny story about les that I will try to keep brief
Les was staying at a local pub of mine in south coast coaching country kids at a NSW knockout
I was sitting next to a dragon mate of mine at the bar having an very early morning hair of the dog beer
We were the only two in the pub
He was rubbishing manly as I was dragons
I saw les walk in and stand right next to my mate at the bar who was facing me and did not see les
I encouraged him to keep putting ****e on our players and then brought of les’s name and how good he was
Sure enough my mate responded calling les all the names under the sun
He was soft, a thug , over rated and so on
His last statement was “ hey listen to him talk , he even sounds like a girl’
Les was just looking straight a head listening with dead pan eyes and I actually felt scared
I said to my mate “ bet you would not say that to his face and when he bignoted and said he would , I asked him to turn around
As he turned around, to see who was there , les turned real slow and just stared at him
My mate actually shrunk, started stuttering and shaking all at the same time while les just stared before turning towards him but then just walking out in his sorts singlet and things
To this day I don’t know if he saw the funny side and just played along but there was certainly no smile no words just those imposing eyes ....
