If you mean the player standing up I reckon is Keith Harris.
Pretty fair player in attack or defence so they might be his products some how...

Ray Higgs packing down in the 2nd row with Igor?

 

[manly al]

think that Ray Higgs only played a hand full of games for Manly that season he was there , Some chronic back injury limiting his career then i think . May have had some difficulty in holding down a starting spot in the Manly pack then in any case even if he was relatively injury free .That will always be remembered as a wonderful era in the club"s history around that time , just so much power and pace and creativity in the sides in that era .

Was Keith Harris a former Bull dog player or a future Bull dog at that time . Think that it may have been a former.

I have an article on him at home @manly al but I think he was originally from Tamworth to the bulldogs ( berries) then bears back to bulldogs.
Googling it takes the fun out of it.

Catch, pass, run and kick better than most playing today.

Does anyone have the article in the D Tele on Thursday re Les Boyd page 76/77. My Dad said it was quite interesting.

 

[Real Deal]

Just read the Boyd article. Fascinating. It's a pity that he and Brohman cannot bury the hatchet. I loved his time at Manly in spite of his "red mist". After his eye gouge of Billy Johnstone he was cited by the judiciary but played another game for us against Penrith at Penrith. The Panthers were leading at the end with an upset on the cards when someone gave the ball to Boyd. He just charged through knocked players over like nine pins and scored the match winning try. And that was it for Les and Manly. He was only 27 and really deserved some mentoring and another chance.
