I remember seeing Johnny at Noarlunga for an SANFL game - It would have been in the late 90’s. He had a dead flat Sherrin and lining up at 50 with a koala backpack. He lent over the footy like Plugga and after 30 seconds lining it up, took 7-8 steps and kicked it 15 metres. Saw it as a 14 year old and still to this day is up there with the funniest things I’ve seen.

I remember him wandering around Alberton Oval with a lace up Magpies guernsey and that koala backpack.

Spent my late teens and early 20’s (1997-2001) living on Boyle St Oakland’s Park, spent many an evening there and remember it well!

The NYBG on the other side of the mall is still pouring beers. You'll be very lonely in there though, unless you're a pokie addict.

NYBG and Shenanigans on Thursdays were enormous. Still remember Shenanigans pouring 50c beers on Saturdays until 11 and then kick off 50% happy hour 11-12. I’d be crawling home at 1am on a $10 night moves bus with most others. Whole night would cost $35-40.

Still remember the first night they had 50c beers and groups would carry their entire table to the bar and fill it up and carry it back. The alcohol board heard about it and the following week had their staff there patrolling responsible alcohol service.

when my 15 year old step son ask me what is this "fruita" drink in the fridge.

Liquid gold is what it is....
