1989 Grand Final

[shiretiger]

I was at the 88 and 89 grand finals

Have never watched a replay of either

I didn't manage to get to either.

1988, had a huge BBQ at my house, 21 year old me cried when we lost.

1989, had my best mate (a fellow Tigers tragic), his GF (eventually his wife) and a girlfriend of hers over to watch the game.

Deep into the second half, the GF of the GF says "I hope the black man scores a try". The words had just left her mouth when Chicka Ferguson did what he did.

Was too stunned and numb to cry that time.

Devastating mate
