Any of you old magpies remember Tony Ford a hard running fullback from the sixties. I have memories of watching him charge up the field at lidcombe oval .As a fullback he was ahead of his time I think.

This looks a bit like the street where, when you got to the bottom of the hill the only way you could turn the bus around was to reverse onto a platform built over the water.
And I was told when I was training to become a State Transit driver, that a couple of their buses actually ended up going into the water.

I grew up right round the corner on Nicholson St

Great part of the world mate ! Didn’t live there but certainly always liked it !
Sometimes dropped a line in at Lookes Avenue reserve, caught a big blue swimmer crab there one day. Only one I ever snagged.

Tony Ford was an early favorite of mine - mind you, Wests have always had special full backs
