Does anyone remember Super Sid?

Postby Dogwatcher » Thu Sep 21, 2006 4:26 pm

Just curious to know if anyone remember's that iconic Woodville West Torrens supporter.
He was a grumpy old goat who used to wear a dodgy helmet painted in Eagles colours.
I know he was defintely a Torrens supporter and I'm assuming became a WWT fan.

I also remember tell that he'd switched allegiances and may have once supported Norwood.

He was a Norwood supporter, then became an Eagles supporter when Neil Balme came across, then became a Port supporter during approximately the last quarter of the '94 GF. Who didn't he support?

Super Sid used to live across the road from my uncle on Griffiths Street, Magill. A dead-set legend! Built his own house from scraps & collected enough cans & bottles to buy a surf life-saving boat for Henley Life Saving Club, I think it was. Did barrack for Norwood but gave up (surprise, surprise) & last I knew, was following the Wiggles but he is definitely not Ernie.

A dead set icon, used to go to every life saving carnivals (juniors and seniors) and helped out donating shitloads towards boats for many clubs. He wore a painted blue/red army helmet and matching cardigan. But are you sure he is still alive, he was old when I was a nipper back in the 1980's!!!

Old Ernie slagged me off after a wwt win at richmond this year. I feared for my life. Lucky my mates were there to protect me. :lol:
Took him about 1/2 hour to walk from one end to the other! Reminded me of old Cliff Young.
Wolf Pack. OOOOOOOWWWWWW.

Super Sid always marched on ANZAC day but in this years march I think he was in a wheelchair. Not positive, coulda been any recent march.
I seem to remember I heard the TV commentators mention he was a POW.

No mate your thinking of Earnie an old woodville supporter who still supports WWT. You'll still see him behind the northern goals at woody these days.
