Just heard Allan Jean's pre 1989 Grand Final address to the Hawks team, played by Steve Price & Sam Newman on MTR - sensational!
Would be inpirational to play to the Saints before the West Coast game.

thanks for the memories, especially the day in the park in Cheltenham when you told me to get more control of it son in your typical no frills stern cranky fashion, you frightened the bags out of me, just knowing a legend was watching.
