Michael Oldfield

The mail is that he will be making his 1st grade debut tomorrow, on the wing.
Anyone know much about him? I have seen him play a couple of times this year and he goes ok. Great to see a local jr getting a crack.

Does anyone know if he is the son of the actor Eric Oldfield who used to live in Harbord?

His first album was a critically claimed success. Mike Oldfield is a brilliantly talented - yet reluctant and shy - musician, whom was first discovered by Richard Branson. Now he's on the wing for Manly - great stuff :^)

In style he's a bit like Steve Bell, only tubular.

His second album, following Tubular Bells, was named after another Eagle great Hergest Ridge.

And it was also a Number 1 in the UK.

You lot are old mongrels, never heard of the bloke !!

 

[eggson]

Man, that song that's on the Exorcist... creeps me out.

im looking forward to seeign how he goes, hes quite tall, he played fullback when manly played storm lastweek, hes didnt play to bad, lets just hope hes safe as houses under the high ball.

He goes really good on the wing, I saw one toyota cup game where he caught a bomb on our goalline, pushed off the defender and ran 100 metres to score. He's big for 20's, gets into dummy half and makes some runs. He will be up against a tough customer in Nightingale. Great to see another local boy in 1sts. People needc to remember he's only 19!! Anyway, as long as he does his best that's all we can ask.

 

[Mybludog]

I think he'll go ok. Probably swap a bit with Robbo between FB and Wing

 

[Darren]

Thta was the 1st game he played fullback and I wouldn't be putting him there. There is no one else other than Robbo!! We have to leave Matai, Lyon, T rex, Keiran and Hodko in their normal positions.

 

[Fluffy]

if hw follows in Robbos footsteps he wont be know as OLDField for too long

Progressive rock, I guess.

 

[supereagle]

It sounds like no one knows much about the guy. I suppose we will know in 24hours.

he played every instrument on the album(s)
Tubular Bells is a masterpiece
If this Mike is like the old Mike, then I want to be like Mike

 

[Shoe1]

Any relation to David Oldfield?

 

[earl]

The great grand son of Bert Oldfield , one of Australias finest wicket keepers many years ago.

Not sure, all I know is he was the guy who helped make Branson his first million.

So is he down to play wing or fullback?
