I took a step back in time today watching the GF between TTG & Paralowie at Thebby.
The playing coach for Paralowie, somewhat getting on in years and with a girth almost twice the amount of his age was standing on the boundary line, dressed in his double blue playing kit directing his charges...............................and smoking like a train.
Whatever happened to the cult figures in footy?
The guys who would do just that, or have a puff at halftime or a pie with sauce just before the game washed down with a luke warm coke. I even know of a couple that shared a drag at 3/4 time too.
I guess we've all moved on some, more's the pity I think sometimes!
