Back in the day, the port players were true port, you know born and bred, bleed for the jumper etc etc..now these guys are just getting their kicks for $$$$. Most of the recruits they have now probably dont give a shit about the names cahill, williams, phillips etc...i guess when you are ripped in 2, you lose a bit of soul.


A few of Port's champions in the 'aura' years were not home-grown - Clifford, Johnston, Evans, Granger, Leys, West to name a few.
