Who Am I No 8

[Canteen Worker]

Who was the Manly Junior who played in the 1970 winning President Cup side and then played played a key role in 1972 by replacing gun new Centre Ray Branighan when he was injured for three months during the early part of the season? He played a fair bit of first grade through his career but struggled to find a regular place ahead of Fulton, Branighan, Ken Irvine and Max Brown.

Why do you guys do stuff thats way before my time?

But I did just notice you are from North Parra CW. Your a religious man too. Id hope you pray every night to move away from that place. 😀

Gary Thourogood.BTW Flip,Manly DID exist before the '80s.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Spot on Larry. Flip - I do pray to move from here! Believe it or not but 270 acres of green to the North of Parra is not a bad place to live. It's not downtown Parra or west of there which is a different matter altogether!

 

[fLIP]

Oh ok. From what ive heard you all say, it sounded like a bit of a slum. Although I think i was born very close to there. Honsby Hospital

 

[Canteen Worker]

My kids were born there! Nothing wrong with Hornsby - Sydney's North Shore starts there and we have lived in the North West. Great suburbs around Beecroft, Cheltenham, Epping and Pennant Hills!

I lived in Windor for the first 5 years of my life before moving to Gods Country. Sunny Sth East QLD :roll:

You don't have to reply for me to know what your thinking 😀

Hornsby is a fair bit north of parra.

I was born there as well, and grew up in the area.

and it is actually a rather good hospital, better run than RNS and RPA. (mums a nurse that has worked at both) Probably because its a bit smaller.

 

[fLIP]

1984!

 

[Fluffy]

Well you may have got my mum as a nurse as she worked a lot in maternaty when she was there.

 

[fLIP]

She still looks great in the nurses uniform fluffy

 

[Fluffy]

Your a sick sick person.

My eldest daughter was born at Hornsby in 87! (Note year!) She came to watch me play in my last grand final of footy (in a baby capsule!) Nurses were very cute.

I was unhappy with the timing of the birth as I ended up missing going to Brookie for the Cronulla game where we smacked them and Shearer and O'Connor cut them to pieces out wide courtesy of Sir Cliffy Lyons.

 

[fLIP]

My sister was born in hornsby hospital in 87 too.

Why was I noting the date.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Manly won the comp in 87!!!! It was a premiership year!

 

[fLIP]

Oh... yeah I knew that. 😳

Also, whats your eldests birth date.

 

[Canteen Worker]

21st July

 

[fLIP]

Oh OK. My sister was the 26th february so not too close I suppose.

 

[Fluffy]

I thought he was just trying to set her up with some similar aged manly supporters to be on the safe side
