Blonde North lady from the 90s

[Bend_It_Like_Brown]

I couldn’t find the thread but I remember some asking who was the infamous North fan the camera would always pan too in the 90s when we were winning. Watching live and kicking, I found that her name was Adriana O’Loughlin. Does anyone know if she is still around and barracking for the Roos?

Shit Im in the background there . Can't remember that game lol. They were good times though haven't seen Adriana for years was a funny lady and great supporter.

I stood behind her when we played the Crows at Princes Park one day. "Lady" wasn't the term that came to mind. She was hilarious and I learned a whole lot of new insults. (Pretty impressive considering I grew up in Moe.)

Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but her daughter was on Facebook a few years ago and said she had since passed away. She was legendary in the 90s, they would show her on T.V each and every single home game, I remember as a kid walking past her and her crew after a game one time and being as starstuck as meeting any of the players.

Sad news, thanks for the update. She was definitely a North icon at that time!

She makes an appearance in this vid at 1:59. The greatest footy song/intro/promo there ever will be.

What about the obese blonde bloke? The camera man always seemed to love him too.

Ahh, the days when footy was great. Its never been the same since. We have lost the personalities. Its gone too political and woke (can I say that word on here) since then. The commentators were brilliant too back then (not the stat driven ones of today). Ahh I must be getting old & grumpy or maybe we just keep losing all the time

Watching it again, the editing is spot on.

depends, do you know what it means?

Used to go with 2 mates in the 90's and would catch up with Adriana and her family after the game for a chat. Always full of energy. My mate always thought he was a chance with the youngest daughter, reality was she would see him coming and try to avoid him.

This is a discussion board. We type things here, we don't say them.

I’m FB friends with Adriana’s daughter and didn’t know she’d passed so I checked Adriana’s FB last night and sure enough, she hasn’t posted since Xmas 2020. Prior to then she would regularly post on family members’ birthdays.

Eldest or youngest daughter, asking for a friend

Lolz (not telling for fear of being stalked by said friend)

I think she'd still see you your friend coming from a mile off, even through an intermediary.

Said friend would also have to get through her teen kids and top bloke husband. A for effort if he plows on regardless of course.

I reckon I have watched 'the thing I like about football " clip about 7 times today and got goose bumps every time remembering the footy in the 90s. Hasnt been the same since, but the kids are the real deal now I keep telling wifey. She reckons I have been saying that for 20 years and they have all grown up and retired by now. Hate to say it but she is probably right. But surely one can keep dreaming cant they. Im sure they are the real deal now though

Aah, nothing like stoking a culture war on BigFooty. Save it for ‘Sky News After Dark’!
