Wests Magpies on Foxtel Tonight

[AmericanHistoryX]

1996 against North Sydney - i think it was the game when we kicked a field goal from half way - i believe it was Andrew Willis - but it could be another game - not sure. 9pm kick off. Fox Sports 2.

Fantastic stuff, was wondering what the game was tonight, discussed it with a work mate and was wondering if you still vote for the game (Chooseday) or Foxsports are running with a theme!.

I was there too, back when I had a season pass and never missed a game. It was one of my best memories.

One of my worst memories was sitting in the stand in a game and hearing the sound of a players leg snap from about 20m away. Was so long ago now, I can't recall who the player was.. My memory is not as good as it once was !

After thinking about it i thnik it was Jim Leis …

I remember hearing Lindner breaking his leg at C'town in 1991.

I remember a Wests player breaking his leg during an Amco Cup game in front of the northern goal posts. I was a young kid seated behind them and heard it - sickening… too long ago to remember who it was though.

What a great celebration of football. The best field goal I have ever seen

I remember when I was in the Mini Magpies Club. That was the Season Membership for kids. It was only $5! That included General Admission entry into all home games.

I also remember when an Adult General Admission ticket costed only $10\. Now it's more than double that!

Who was the utterly epic bogan playing halfback in the headgear?

Looked like he had grown up in the gutter outside Claymore pub

Willie Newton. He played for Warriors so maybe grew up in the gutter outside Ruse Tavern. He was only 18 at the time and went to first grade way to early. Unfortunately, Tommy had no one else to call on.

I think he ended playing a fair bit of group 6 footy.

he also went to my high school
