I met a Sainter in Cairns later that year who said after the last game, he ran out and dug up some turf that had Plugger’s kneeprint in it. He said he carried it home like it was the Holy Grail itself lol

I'll never forget that day, I was lucky enough to sit at a table with Lionel Rose that day.

[asiu]

wow

thats an honour

was he a Sainter ?
... he played a bit of aussie rules
‘n the connections
helped him on his way

Rose was badly injured in his first amateur boxing match against a much larger and more experienced opponent. He subsequently ‘retired’ from boxing for two years and pursued Australian Rules. (p.30)
When he took up Australian Rules, Lionel played ‘ruck-rover’, which was a position for the ‘big, tall, strong men of the team’. (pp.30-31) His opponents were much larger than he, and Rose had a number of bad accidents: including being knocked unconscious for thirty seconds, and then continuing to play. (p.31)

Frank Oakes: The coach of the Third Grade Warragul Australian Rules team, who trained Rose when he decided to take up boxing again as a teenager. (p.33) Frank also organised Lionel’s first major fights, raised money for to travel to Tasmania (p.39), supported him when his father died, (p.36) and tried to find him employment (pp.37-38). When Frank decided that he could no longer develop as a boxer under his care, he introduced Lionel to Jack Rennie. (pp.43-44)
