Great pic with Bozo and Wombat and 1000's of fans. And yes - once as a kid at Brookie I saw him with his shirt off after a game and can confirm his shoulders were about a metre across, incredibly strong bloke.

(on Manly and himself): "Mate, I didn't go in for all that star crap, I just loved playing the game and playing for Manly ... I was never what you would call a student of the game. I can't tell you what the score was in the 49th minute of a game 15 years ago."
(on Ken Arthurson): "The man was the best thing to ever happen to Manly. He was very astute, a good bloke and always had the best for Manly at heart."
Didn't matter back in those days, it was well before the digital age.faithful said:. One of my fav all time Manly players I think he was or a butcher at one stage and as such I think he had a least one finger missing but like the old timers of that era he had a job and played footy at its highest domestic level.

Found and merged.
Chip and Chase said:Magilla was Ian Thomson.
I think Ian Martin was known as Marto, Martsy, The Martmeister, Big Daddy Mart, or Marvin.
