No. Ablett wrecked his voice box.

Looks like this is the new trend on footy.

Things go a bit pear shaped and you change your name.

Why not if you can win a Norm smith and a flag.

I preferred what KB called him once -- Harry O'Gordon.

Lumumba was the first president of the congo after it became independent from belgium .
Not long after he was killed by mobuto who then ran congo (Zaire) for thirty odd years as a brutal dictator.

Harry being a knob jockey has probably recently discovered the family connection and wants to cash in .

I hate Harry O'Brien... Overrated, and drinks his own bath water ..

[satchmo]

You wouldn't catch Muhammad Ali doing that.

I thought it was a new version of the Richie Valens song:

La la la la...LUMUMBA!


Actually it's a wonder the flog hasn't changed his name to Harry Mandela

Like it.

Have to agree. Has there ever been a bigger narcissist in the game? He is the poster boy for the "look at me" generation.

Plenty worse at the Filth. Clearly an interesting case and a bit tragic he ended up surrounded by the Peanut empire that is the Filth. Also shagged Fuzzy who also changed her name so Fuzzy Wuzzy is no longer Fuzzy anymore more......

Reckon he would rival if not surpass Milne as the most despised(by neutrals) player in the AFL!

[dragit]

He has changed his surname from his step fathers to his real Dad's… I don't love the bloke, but won't hang it on him for doing that, seems like a reasonable thing to do to me.

If that's it then fair enough.

Wouldn't catch Meister doing it

[Pwoit]

What about that bloke Whiskers?

Hmmmmmm...?

Now maybe daddy is long gone, maybe there are other reasons..., but on the face of it, his mum and his (recently deceased) stepdad brought up young Tier... not his father.

So if Teir wants to better reflect his heritage, fair enough, but I reckon changing his name to that of his mother's people would be more appropriate, than changing to that of his father.

Surely a caring understanding nineties type like Teir... wouldn't (deep down) be a tad sexist? Surely...?



(I know that the two cases have several differences, but I'm just seeing a little touch of the Barry Obamas in this decsion.)

Ian Stewart tried that back in the days when he kept having to appear at court for various matters. Trouble is "The Sun" would run the statement at the end of the story "Ian Harlow Cervi is also known as Ian Harlow Stewart" so you can run but not hide.

[Sobraz]

Eddie McGuire thinks this thread is borderline racist.. He will get us all kicked out of the footy..

Harry is a moron of the highest order..

[HitTheBoundary]

Most women I know have changed their last name.
