Not true. Peter Scanlon grew up in Coburg and was former top executive in John Elliott's Elders IXL in the 1980s. They took over Carlton & United Breweries.

Nothing to do with Scanlens footy cards. From Wikipedia
Scanlens is a brand of trading cards first produced in the 1930s and given away with packets of sweets and chewing gum.
The first sports-themed cards series were produced in limited quantities in 1963 featuring 18 players from the Victorian Football League

Ive heard this story John Barnes as well
Ok. We all know that Gary Snr was a remarkable, indeed freakish footballer.
But outside football he is a disturbed, and at times disturbing, nut job. His entire post football career, in all of its phases, culminating in his recent QAnon rants, proves beyond any doubt that he is barking mad and, on occasions, he has been dangerous. Ask Alice Horan’s loved ones and friends what they think of him.

Nothing yet

From the friend of a friend of a work colleague file.

Vic Premier Dan Andrews has asked Gill if he could release the 2021 fixture (or part thereof) on Monday, the same day the hotel inquiry findings are officially tabled to the public, the hope of course is our love of footy will usurp our interest in what the outcomes of the findings might reveal.

I guess we only have to wait a few days to see if this rings true.
Looks like you were on the money...
 
I saw a bulldogs player who's son is currently on the list, fingering a girl who wasn't his wife on the dfloor of twister back in the day

Note - he shares the same surname as an American rapper

Libba Racchi ? Bad Ass if there ever was one

I reckon Scotty West would have a couple of products of extramarital affairs currently running around the junior ranks. I'm sure the Doggos have an eye on it. Was Tommy Kavanagh (Brent Crosswell's lovechild) the only official father/son recruit to result from such a scenario?

BTW here's a hanger Tommy took in the 2s during his later stint at Fitzroy.

I remember Platten had one considered by the Hawks, but they didn’t take him.

Not sure Rat’s was from an affair, rather just some carry on near the end of his playing days with a random.

Dislike the term, random. If it happened it wasn’t and John would have been just as much one from the girls end, no?

Yawn. Looking for something to get upset about?

It’s a football forum.

Platten has profile in this context, therefore a one time fling that produced a child would be a “random”.

Please provide all the details of both parties and the circumstances so it can be “respectfully” discussed in your view of the correct way on a rumours and scandals board...

Not really looking for something to get upset about but ‘random’ comes from both sides in context, not just one to get the supposed job done.
Plattens profile has nothing whatever to do with it and that presumption clouds the thought process.
**** stereotypes

I dislike pineapple in burgers.

What's the issue here? As you point out, he might have also been a random to the girl involved. I doubt he'd lose sleep over being labelled a random.

Or else she was a football follower and targeted him. So, not a random partner but still a casual root.

Again, what's the problem with it being described as random?

What's your politically correct, non-stereotypical term for it?
