Hahaha!well done Moocher
Kingpin's old favourite! Ambrose Macdonald, a villainous looking hardnut that would have scared the living daylights out of the current mob of orange men!
Hahaha!
Good old Kevin "Ambrose" McDonald!
Had a terribly hard upbringing that fella, footy was his big thing in life, don't think he became a senior footballer 'til he was about 25 and unfortunately had a hair-trigger temper which got the better of him, strangely after his exploits in the 1986 Grand Final for Sandy Bay and the belting he gave Kim Excell he was running around for Campbell Town (I think it was) the next season in the Northern Amatuers before he went inside.
Geez, imagine how the young blokes of today would cope with the likes of Ambrose McDonald, Darren Winter, Dale Whish-Wilson, Tony "Tatts" Brand, Greg Farquahar, Todd Spearman, Tim Deacon, Andy Goodwin, David Rhys-Jones, Brenton Tapp and the list goes on - there'd be a mass exodus to the Old Scholars or the SFL or something
Far out footy was different back then, no wonder the crowds were so good, there was genuinely always action going on everywhere!
PS: I've started doing a lot of research in my spare time at the State Library on the league back in the '80's for Wikipedia.

You forgot about your own Tony Marchant! They didn't call him Boots for nothing didn't they!
The ABC Television sports department here in Hobart should have relevant copies of what you're after there JohnAnyone have a copy of the 86 granny (Seagulls/Pies) on DVD available? In fact also interested in any Sandy Bay games anyone might have available right up until their exit from the league. Particularly any games covered that were played at Queenborough.
Shoot me a PM if you have any, so the thread doesn't get clogged and we can negotiate a price etc for your time.
Cheers.
Ambrose Macdonald,Todd Spearman , Spider kLINE AND sCOTT wALKER OF North Hobart and Triabunna fame not the Burnie Hawks and Yolla Scott Walker ?
Agree with the above list except for Guy Grey you have to be joking on this one..had good skills old Chalky but does not belong in the list of hard men..
Won alot of B&Fs at Wynyard 2Speaking of hard men what about Robbie Wright played the game hard for the Burnie Hawks ...

Toughest bloke I ever played with!Andy Goodwin - Devonport (Formerly from AFL club, Richmond)
I played against Tim when I was at devonport and played with him when he came up to southport ..ripper blokeIs Tim Oldenhof still playing football?
For you north west boys - what happened to Paul Gaby? - did he take off with Peter German a few years back and never came back (?)
Darren perry absolute champion lucky to have played with him in 96James 'Lois' Lane - Hobart.
Played for Hobart until 1996 and has resided in London for several years now.
Was at the 1980 & 1990 Premiership reunion last year. Still looks the same.
Darren Perry - North Hobart & Hobart.
Very good footballer, started at North Hobart as a young bloke played in premierships with them, crossed to Hobart in 1992 and played a season with the Tigers before heading back across to North.
Played for Hobart against North in the '92 Grand Final and played quite well.
Works for Steps Employment in Hobart nowdays.
And a lovely blokeAlso played 64 games and kicked 30 goals with Torrens between 1987 and 1990.
The umpires came into the rooms before the game a few times and pulled Andy and myself aside and said that we tackle and hit with too much vigor and we need to tone it down . Goodas just looked with a sly smile and set let's go nothing's changed .I didn't go round wacking blokes and if I did they would of deserved it .7 reports got done once !'Teflon' Tim Deacon?
Big bloke, getting reported almost every week, named 'Teflon' because they could never make any charge stick.
Treated harshly I reckon lol'Teflon' Tim Deacon?
