Yeah Michael I've done a search on youtube that didn't turn anything up.

Are you one of these computer gurus that can convert old VHS into a digital file?

My avatar is the setshot.....The video 'Plugger' has it. If I had a VHS to dvd converter I'd put it on...

I've got that rounds edition of The Winners on video tucked away somewhere. Two things are good for a chuckle, in the post match, Kevin Bartlett tells people to keep an eye on Footscray's Linton Fitzpatrick because he's a star of the future ... um ... who?
And Plugger is interviewed in the change rooms afterwards and makes a comment about staying at the Saints forever.

I was one of the first out on the ground to pat Plugger on the back

We'd been going from end to end waiting for the moment, and he just happened to take the shot right in the pocket in front of where we were waiting at the fence...

Rod Owen and Nicky were trying to protect Plugger but there were too many people...

Great win that day as well, good times, good times....

I was there as well and am on the video (for all of a second). Look for a blonde kid carrying a flag with tight acid wash jeans. What a look!

If someone could youtube it or something that would be great, would love to see it again.

We were probably running side by side I also remember saints supporters moving from end to end to get ready to jump the fence.

Would love to see the footage if anyone has got it.

His matchday No 14 jumper was raffled off in the Social Club after the game and it has been hanging in our cupboard at home for the last 21 years - dirt and all - only time Plugger ever kicked 100 wearing the number 14 jumper - great piece of memorabilia - could be worth a bit!!

Only if you have a certificate to verify that it is from that game otherwise its worth as much as the one I have.

So big Plugger presenting the jumper - signed and dated - to my dear old Mum from the stage in the Social Club in 1987 after the Footscray game - isn't the original???

I mean cmon are you telling me that the MC was lying when he announced from the stage in the Social Club that the jumper about to be raffled is the original worn by Tony three hours earlier after he kicked his 100th - with the dirt on it mind you - yeah OK P66 - whatever you say mate

Certificates of Authenticity??? - I am sure the club will be more than happy to present one once they see the jumper - signed and dated

Seriously you are such a know it all twat - no one can ever get one over you can they - well guess what knobby the jumper is authentic yours isn't - suck it up big fella

I was at that game and was not going to run on the ground But the crowed behind me running on forced me to go as well. would have to say was my greatest memory of those days at morrabbin. I was 19 at hte time and there was a group of us that always stood behind the goals week in week out, usually very drunk and full of song then back to linton st hotel or saints disco. Be great to see that game.

As I have said about 10 times the Saints disco was Friday night. They never had the disco on Saturday.

They never had the disco on Saturday. Once in a blue moon they would have a players function but the Saints disco was always and only on a friday. Just get a photo or an old game on video and you will see it on the scoreboard.

speaking of ol times at moorabbin any one remember supperters from behind the goals ones I can remember " Claude Bok Markus Sonny Dazza Gazza Derek (ol PooF) " Be great to catch up with any a these

Barry_Zuckercorn_QC · Thu 03 Jul 2008 9:35pm

I remember the day only too well. Seeing the ball sail through the sticks, I thought to myself, "here's the man who will carry us to premiership number 2." Ditto Riewoldt 17 years later, except the ball didn't sail through the sticks that often with him. Still great memories.

I was there with a mate.
And we swapped ends each quarter to follow Plugger.
And then joined in the thousands on the ground.

Those were the days.
Then round to join the queue outside the Social Club.
Drinks.
The song.
Raffles.
Drinks.
The song.
The top 3 players.
The song.
Drinks.
etc.
