I'm famous. I went to school with...

Post: # 1647528Post minneapolis »

I have been inspired by Loris' wonderful story of growing up with the Barrot boys.

Thanks Loris. It was fantastic.

But I am also famous. Well maybe a tad. Perhaps a microbit.

I went to school with Gary Rosewarne, who was the son of Keith Rosewarne, a prodigiously talented St Kilda rover.

And to add shine to my famosity, my brother went to school with Daryl Somers. I believe he was named Schultz back then.

(We have to get thru the off season some how).

I went to school with Jason Blake and that Russo guy (Paul) who was an assistant coach mid 90s was a teacher at the same school.

Not a great story

he is one people don't give much credit too for winning it for some reason
doesn't matter what the team may be like at the time to win a B&F would still be darn hard.

I went to school with P66 and the Fidge brothers.

P66 come back, all is forgiven.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Not a great story
You mean Peter Russo? He played most of his career with Hawthorn, but then got recruited by the Saints to play out the last couple of years of his career. I do have a recollection of him going on to being an assistant under Stan Alves.

So were you in the same year as Jason Blake? What was he like as a person?

Darren Millane.... although he was a couple of years younger than me. Not a friend, but he was a classmate of a couple of fiends of mine. His older brother, John, was a much better footballer. Also, former Richmond president Gary March was in my year level, but again, not a friend.

Our primary school football team was smashed by one Dean Anderson. I then ended up going to secondary school with him. There was also a guy who went on to play for Melbourne - and of course a couple of famous ones followed after I had left - C ....... Judd and B Goddard.
