Who am I No 2

[The Wheel]

I played 7 first grade games for Manly in the years of 1978, 1978 and 1981. I was known not only for my potential that was unfullfilled but my flowing Blonde hairs. I was a winger who scored 4 tries and kicked 1 goal during for first grade career. Who am I?

i Take it you mean 78,79 and 81

 

[The Wheel]

Yep

Bit before my time - might have to let biscuits have a crack

You need these obscure ones to get past Biscuits, although I reckon I gave too much info about the blonde hair.

I was thinking Simon Booth or Steve Knight - both had long hair but didn't fit the description. I am pretty sure it is Chris Montgomery - blonde hair the giveway. He played for Norths in 1980 if I remember quickly.

 

[The Wheel]

Well done CW, Chris Montgomery it is . I thought the blonde hair was too much info.

So no tries in 78, 79 and 1 goal??

He would have been my guess but i am lacking pre 80

I know which site you are using now for your research Fluffy! Pre 80s Manly scorers are very hard to get!!!

Its the best one ive found online - has some really good stuff. I dont just use that though.

Its very tought to find team lists for individual games anywhere.

i have a couple of books but not at my house - they are in storage.

I am now wishing I kept all my Big Leagues and RLWs from when I was a kid. My grandfather used to post me every Manly home game programme but my mum and now my wife, chuck anything out that isn't pinned down. (I have a few GF things and some memorabilia stored away - out of their evil clutches ..... :twisted: :twisted:

I dont have anything like that anymore - I had every team photograph that was realeased from 84 - about 95 but they got rather old and tacky and thrown out about the time of the merger. Starting to rebuild some now, it will take a while.
