Great interview last night. The great man is still as sharp as a tack. A mate of mine is his financial planner and he came down for the first game with a bung shoulder done body surfing. At 93 just wow 
Perhaps the greatest Manly Man of all. Thanks for the heads-up on Face To Face, I will assume it's on Kayo and catch it there.

Hats off to Y Sampson for that interview. I wasn't optimistic but it was really really good.
And Wally O'Connell must have been something, as Arko, Bozo and Stanton all raved about him.

Remember meeting Ken in the eighties. He was at a court house in Sydney with Neville Wran getting into an elevator. I got into the lift with them with my nail bag on,heading back up to a floor. Didn’t say much apart from Up Manly. I was working for Arkley Fibrous Plaster who had a contract with PWD( Public Works Department).

Manly wouldn’t have the proud history it has without Arko. Good to see him fit and sharp and enjoying life. Comes across as a really genuine and decent person.
Was interesting to hear he remained friends with Ribot, many fans hate the guy but not Arko, a measure of the man.

As much as we love to connect with the tribalism and associate with all Manly stands for, it’s a game of footy. Arko has his priorities sorted after 90+ years on this planet. There is no personal joy or growth in holding onto grudges.
