Crikey, got me there mate. Face is familiar but can’t recall the name. He looks awestruck by Wombat.
Who wouldn't be.
I got his autograph at Cumberland oval one day.
I was about 12 and remember shaking and mumbling something.
Anyway I bet someone will know who that player is.
 
There's some real studs there. None of this plastic moulded crap. How many players would've worn those studs to the head and body as Wombat burrowed through them?

Great photos. Frank Hyde would often rant that we had a team of internationals in reserve grade. Anyone got any team lists to support that position?
 
Hey @Dan and admins. Should we have a page/category dedicated to Manly retro pics. Old player/ground/memorabilia pics? I love the great memories they bring back. Inspired by this pic I saw today. Apologies in advance if the retro page already exists.

I like it! Hopefully some of you old farts can give insight to some pics with all your knowledge. There's so much that I don't know about Manly,( I obv know everything else about everything else.......*tumbleweeds*) It'd be a good topic to keep on track! I'm looking at you ge!

To republish Jethro's link, there is good info in there. It's actually the first 'sports' forum in Australia! "The creator" is still alive and well. :)
