I know it’s a long time ago but let’s not forget Frank “ it’s long enough and high enough” Hyde. The sound of my youth !

What a great team Balmain had then. Plus two of the best goalkickers ever in the same team. Poor old Golden Boots retired that year and the Tigers won the comp the next year.
Keith Barnes was my favourite player back then followed by Dennis Tutty (I was 12) and I had a jersey with a number 1 on it.
Don’t have the jersey any more but I do have the tigers logo off it somewhere.

John Peard & Kevin Junee Wow! just Wow!

Going back a bit here, but this player was a Magpies legend even in his playing days ......
