Rugby league history

During an infamous 1980 rugby league match at Leichhardt Oval, a furious female spectator jumped the fence and ran onto the field to confront and berate controversial referee Greg "Hollywood" Hartley.

The incident occurred during the opening 10 minutes of Round 1 between the Balmain Tigers and the Parramatta Eels. Hartley, known for his flamboyant personality and on-field clashes with players, required a police escort following the fiery exchange.

Champion @innsaneink, Jim Serdaris was a local junior for the Zetland Magpies in the South Sydney area.
And you're right - he was the last Wests Magpie to wear the green and gold.

I love this. I actually thought she might have knocked the arrogant grin off his face.

I'm not sure why, but he seemed to always have a vendetta against the Tigers and favoured the Eels.
