This likely will never happen again.
The team sheet is from 1967 (I think).
Fancy a whole team being from the one family.
Later the Goldspinks had a connnection with the Bulldogs when Kevin Goldspink played for them (and also repped for Australia).

Bowden was one tough guy I’d have in my top 10 for toughness.

Bowden was one tough guy I’d have in my top 10 for toughness.

From memory Bowden worked "security" for underworld figures at the time. Broadhurst had a tough guy reputation and was supposed to have a boxing background.
Bowden destroyed him.

The thing is champion @Lauren - I'm sure I would have been at Lidcombe for the Manly game - great memories in both games.

One of the greatest days of my life on the hill at Lidcombe.

I can still hear the Marlboro Country theme and the peanut seller walking around with his bag full of peanuts yelling "peanuts in the shell, sugar coated peanuts 40 cents".
I need me a time machine

Harry Penrith the Tarcutta fullback in the team above was later more famous as Burnum Burnum who went to England in 1988 to claim it for the Aboriginals. He died in 1997. His wikipedia page is worth a read.
