Went to the 150th event at Marvel this week. What a great night. The speech Jason Kimberley gave, his "Love letter to the Swans", had the entire room in fits of laughter

craig would be in his 80s now. Great link to old South people. Got Ian Stewart into the club I think. We were very competitive then, highlighted by beating Collingwood at Victoria Park in 1977. Teasdale and N. Goss huge.

 

[McGowan3]

Was at the game. Unforgettable.

Good standard for the 50s. Both teams hard at it. 28 shots to 23 cost us. Good to see Skilton and McGowan. Bobby was 18 years old and played like a veteran! Thx for posting video!
