Almost famous

[Hugh Jorgen]

Although I have only joined this forum recently, and haven’t had much time to assess the intrinsic value of the volumes of drivel that are posted here, I can’t help but harbour a suspicion that you are not all complete nobodies (except maybe for Tigerboyz) out there in Bay 13-land.

Could it be that some of you bathe in the reflected glory of a football celebrity? Do you have an uncle who used to play for Melbourne? Or is your next door neighbour a Barry Hall from a bygone era?

Perhaps in other threads, you’ve been itching to name drop – a casual reference here, an innuendo there.

Well, here’s your chance to just blurt it out. If your PE teacher was a senior for the Lions or you live in the same street as the captain of Collingwood, let us hear about it.

To kick things off, I have a confession to make. I once dated Stephen Silvani’s sister.

Know him?!? …..

Take out your HTML script can barely read that.


EDIT : much better.

Closest I am to knowing a footballer is Charlie Sutton. He is a good friend of one of my best mates family. I've met him a couple of times, surprised at how short he is.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Tigerboyz = owned, quite intricately.

My ex-rival primary school's P.E teacher was the spiritual captain of the Spotswood Seniors in their grandfinal win last year.

 

[Neville Bartos]

I know Robert Walls. Joke of a journalist but not the worst bloke in the world

I went to primary school with Mark Johnson and we were good mates. He went to a different highschool after that and i remember playing against him one day out at aberfeldie park in essendon i think. I remember when he ran from the backline straight down the middle of the ground just swerving around everyone and bombing a beautiful goal from 50 metres. I think we were 14 at the time.

Dipper was flogging pies on the Bert Newton show out the front of Flinders street station. I had a pie eating contest with him. He won. The end.

You just wanted to tell everyone you dated Sos' sister!

I don't really have any. I played cricket against Nick Stevens in juniors, he scared the shit out of me, he was quick and i was only 9.

And i got pissed with Rhys Jones at Crown one night, he paid for the drinks. Did you know he used to get $500 worth of drinks at Crown per month for free?

Oh have another couple, played juniors against Jeff White. He was a goofy looking kid, tall and skinny with huge ears.

Travis Johnstone was in my team as kid albiet a couple years younger.

There you go exhausted my so called "footballers I know but not really".

$500 wouldn't last long if the hyphen got going.

Funny you should mention it, Hugh, but our PE teacher was Gary Wilson from the (then Fitzroy) Lions. He was a dud teacher. Didn't give a stuff about us. It was just a job to pay the mortgage in the days when footy didn't pay as well as it does today.

 

[Big Delut]

No big name players for me but played footy with Shane Valenti for about 8 years. Went to school and played cricket with Tom Murphy. Played cricket for several years with Simon Buckley and still catch up.

Went to school with Andy Carrazzo for 3 years

Also Simon Beaumont lives in my street

Silvangi's sister is a HIM? Interesting relationship you had then.

SSOS Shaging Sister of SOS.

I used to live in the same street as Nathan Buckley. I hate the Pies as much as the next normal guy, but Nathan is a top bloke. One day I was waiting to cross the road with my 2 year old son and a car stops to let us cross (he had right of way). I only realised as we crossed that it was Buckley driving the car.

On a different note, (his then girlfriend) Tanya used to take her 2 Pugs for walks up past our house - wearing the shortest shorts. Talk about a great pair of pins.

You're practically family! Well done, exit.

Exit, stage right.

Too right!!

But I think I've hit on something. Everyone's got a story to tell.

Was she over-rated?
Did she play netball in defence?

Lol, and you can't even spell the name right. next....

 

[Frankston Rover]

Nathan Burke was a student teacher at my primary school in Frankston.

Dermott Brereton ran a sports shop in Somerville many years ago, met him a few times - especially at the Frankston Bombers CC.

After the Grand Prix one weekend, I went back to the Casino with a mate of mine and got talking to a bloke. He was there with his wife/gf and we sat down with them, talking about the day. In walks Craig Lowndes with his missus and walks over to our table.

This bloke and his missus were friends, so Lowndes sit down, then comes Russell Ingal, Greg Murphy and Steve Richards - they all join the table. Russell introduces himself to me, "G'day mate, Russell" - I felt like saying "No shit!" Top bloke

Then the manager comes over and asks what we would like to drink, Lowndes asks me what I'm drinking - Bundy and Coke, the next thing a jugs arrive - all free.

All in all, a great night. Top bunch of blokes who like to play hard.

 

[AFKAJR]

LOOK AT ME.........My uncle (non-blood) is Brad Hardie's cousin.

And if you haven't shared at least a half dozen drunken conversations with footballers of varying levels of national fame then you shouldn't be posting here.
