An 'older' bloke walks in with his dog - he looks familiar to me.
"Excuse me mate" I say, "Your name wouldn't happen to be Max James, would it?"
"Yes, it is" he replies.
We have a reasonable conversation about all things footy - he's a Power supporter but obviously has a 'soft spot' for the Swans - having played 55 games between '78 & '82.
He informs me that he played 8 State Games & is 1 (of only 3) Simpson Medalists from SA.
He won that award - playing as Ruck Rover & kicking 6 goals - not bad for a 'Fullback", I think to myself... apparently, 'Kerls' came to him the night before the match & told him he was playing 'on the ball'.
His 'biggest highlight' in a 200+ game career - 1977 Premiership with The Maggies.
Thought some of you might enjoy the 'trip down memory lane'

BTW... told him to have a look @ this site... "The Most Knowledgeable SANFL Fans around"
