BROWN PAPER BAGS
In 1980 Carlton tried to get me over during the year. They flew me from Perth to Sydney in May when the Blues played Essendon in an exhibition game at the SCG. They took me up to my seat in the stand where there were two brown paper bags. From memory there was around $15,000 in them.
CARLTON MONEY
In 1984 after I had gone back to Perth, Carlton and John Elliott offered me $100,000 cash, yes, cash, to come back. Part of that was to help run my two sports shop etc, but it would have made me one of the highest paid players in the game.
