Jughead was an absolute beaut. Hard-working , hard-hitting 100% Manly guy, every week.
Another was Darrell Williams.
Made some of the biggest hits I have ever seen and another 100% Manly guy who never quit..
Freddy Jones is another who doesn't get the respect he deserves here. He gave it EVERYTHING, every game.
The Bug, Robbo and Elsegood are faves here but guys like David Ronson and Bruce Walker were great assets to us at all times on small money.
Maybe not many saw these guys, and others like them play, so they are not as revered as they are due. I saw them play most weeks and I assure everyone here that 100% guys like these were the nucleus that binded the lauded stars into a champion team.
Unsung heroes?
Not to those who witnessed them week in, week out, putting in and being a big part of our successes.
There have been many more over the years and this is EXACTLY what Manly culture is all about and I hope the new coaching team can re-instill that again.
