Ciao from Italy

[wyalurch]

Born 'n bred in Melbourne, played competitive footy (club & school) practically non-stop from age 8 to 16, Magpies in the DNA & blood (folks were friends of the Richards and Roses), lived in my Woods guernsey with the hallowed no.22. Saw every 70s final series inc GFs (sob!). Left for Europe in my early 20s. Coincidently was in Australia (in Sydney, FFS!) for the 1990 GF. Pretty much lost track of things till the Internet came along. Did a very short stint coaching the Genoa Dockers here in Italy (Genoa's full of docks too). Carna Pies!

Grazie Mr X. Devo dire che qui dentro BF c'è un po' di tutto, non me lo aspettavo. Curioso.

I lost my 90s era Eagles scarf on the Isle of Capri on a holiday there in 2013. You haven't seen it around, have you? Lol

Jokes aside, I hope some random Italian person is wearing it, with no idea who the West Coast Eagles are. Or maybe they googled them and are fans now.
