quick question #23

saintbrat · Post: # 840535Post **saintbrat** » Sun 04 Oct 2009 6:13pm

who wore # 23 for the saints in the 1980's

A friend has had come to their hands a jumper- apparently player worn from the 1980's with # 23 on the back.

Loewe did for the later years (86 onwards?)

Terrible memory here, but did a Cunningham have 23 at one stage?

chook23 · Post: # 840546Post **chook23** » Sun 04 Oct 2009 6:28pm

Russell Tweedale (maybe late 70's......78..79..)

Alby Smedts..........1980/81

LOL The Incredible Bulk had it...

oneeyesaint · Sun 04 Oct 2009 6:58pm

If it has a Tooheys then it would have to be Stewie Loewe as it had it from 87 to 2002

never dud chook23 _ I was told 1980's and then checked with the person now holding the jumper- who would be too young to know-

so now we are narrowing it down-

I still have no idea how the person before the current holder got it..

so years of Toohey's were?

Did Stephen Theodore wear the number 23? Can't quite remember what years he played.

Yes

Started 1969 no.40

Stephen Theodore, No. 23, great little forward goal kicker.

saintmia · Post: # 840697Post **saintmia** » Sun 04 Oct 2009 9:26pm

Tooheys = Definitely Buckets Loewe

saintbrat · Post: # 840707Post **saintbrat** » Sun 04 Oct 2009 9:33pm

thanks all

now endeavouring to track how the Jumper got to it's most recent owner, will be a real treat to it's current owner if this is the case..

Joffa was #25.

Stephen Theodore, then Tweedale.

Any one in between?

The sponsorship is a good one. I recall we had T Red and Melb ahd T Blue. I recal Pur, and Philip Morris.

North had Courage.

And we also had Int Harvester trucks a t one time in the 70's.

Tooheys were a great sponsor for us.
Pity the AFL made us cancel the sponsorship.

I was president of a footy club in the early 90's where the league sponsor was Toohey's but our club sponsor was CUB, particularly Fosters Special

Was a great fight for a couple of years.

I'd forgotten all about Tooheys Red until now.
