Take a look at this video, 'western suburbs 1908' https://share.google/O01c0Iyw4iyU36WIV
Thanks champion @Tigerdazz2 - a great walk down the roads of history of the Wests Magpies club.
I've never seen pics of the old St Lukes Oval before (now known as Concord Oval).
Much appreciate the vid. 👋
Bob Fulton, Manly Sea Eagles legend, served two years in the Army, including deployment to Vietnam, though he regarded his service as non-combat compared to others.
Fulton was conscripted into the Army in 1968 and allotted to artillery.
He was effectively exempted from active service by being posted to the School of Artillery in Manly NSW as a Physical Training Instructor (PTI), enabling him to pursue his professional football career while fulfilling his national service obligation.
He also spent time on HMAS Sydney taking the troops through PT during the voyage to South Vietnam.
