Two full back GF captains!

Post: # 2033036Post perfectionist »

The only Premiership team full back captain that I can recall is David Dench. This year will see another one as both teams have fullback captains. Verdun Howell was VC in 1966 but, by then, he was on the half back flank.

Fred Swift 1967. Neville Crowe was suspended and missed Richmonds's premiership.

Which was desperately unfair. That gutless thug John Nicholls feigned that Crowe had hit him in the semi final, the umpire got sucked in and reported him; and at the tribunal Nicholls did not fess up to his acting and let an innocent Crowe get rubbed out. Crowe never played again.

John Nicholls is one of the most overrated players, and most contemptible human beings, ever to have played the game. Pleasingly , he once enjoyed a prison cell at Pentridge for three months for embezzlement. .
