What does he win?

[plugger66]

I was there that day. It was an amazing kick and probably will never be done again. i have no idea if we won that day but our form in the eighties suggests we lost.

I was there too and remember the ironic cheers when we got the free kick!

Was there a big breeze of something?

I can't help but think it couldn't actually be done without a breeze.

I cant really remember but my guess is there was northerly. I was actually at a game in 1987 when a guy called Peter Freeman kicked a goal from CHB. It was in the seconds and there was huge northerly. I remember it like it was yesterday. I actually think Freeman had previously won Sun Kick. We were playing the pies and the firsts game was also interesting. Plugger kicked 8 and broke a point post. The game wasnt on TV but was filmed by our club with Russell Holmesby and Murray Abblitt commentating. it was Plugger at his best. i got a copy off Russell and the commentary was hilarious but I lent it to Murray and never got it back. I dont think the broken point post ever got on tv.

Big breeze? Not that I recall.

Memory may be fading but I remember it as a fine day.

Main thing was that Fehring was p***** of at just having been reported. I believe he took his frustrations out on the ball!!!!!

I was there that game. Plugger took the ball at CHF at the Linton St end and turned around and on one step booted it through... It was Joffa's 200th...Brian Taylor got dragged as well.

I think we were all there that day, i was and i was probably standing next to one of you lot, if you were behind the goals,with your esky

I wasn't

Just past the wing...to the right as per the way Fering kicked.


Still remember it clearly to this day...you could tell straight away that it was a monster.

All eyes were drawn to it...and it seemed to me that as it bounced through for a goal, that the whole crowd leapt as one and roared!!!!!!!!!

I was usually standing on an esky .
As i was young all i can remember of that game was that goal ! and after the match i can remember lots of fans trying to emulate that feat , my brother who was a good footballer got it about half way between the goals and the centre square , i couldn't get it out of the centre , mind you i was only 10

[Trev from the Bush]

I was standing in my usual spot in front of Bay 8 of the stand. It wasn't a windy day as I recall. Jeff Fehring took the free, just went back a couple of strides and unloaded. Barry Breen was just in front of the goal square and it sailed over his head and bounced through. The look on Breeny's face when he turned around was priceless. It would have inspired a "normal" team to win but we seemed to rest on Fehring's laurels and the Filth fought back to win. My mate Woody and I celebrated our honourable defeat at the old Hampton Hotel into the wee small hours (if memory serves me correct, Ian Stewart was licencee at the time).

I was there that day in the social club, I was looking away as he kicked it but looked around in time to see the crowd go nuts behind the goal. I am sure that the wind was not a factor, not because I can remember if it was windy but I can recall that the talk after it and the next day was around the fact that there was no wind. I think Fehring may have been reported just before he got the free to.

I played on Peter Freeman in the U19's that year and the following. Was a bloody good footballer if I recall it as the same bloke (towelled me up a few times) Did he have very olive skin?

Always wondered why he never made it.

He had very olive skin. Would have been about 6.2 I would think with wiry build. May have been indigenous. What club did you play for and why dont you follow them now? Unless of course it was the Roy boys.

Not sure of his ancestry but he certainly did have a darker complexion than most.
