I recall……In the 2001 Grand Final, a muddy, wet slop-fest at Payneham, the scoreline was Blacks 1-4-10 to TTG 2-4-16. TTG kicked both their goals in the first quarter, so they won a flag without kicking a goal after quarter time. Of the 172 Games I played, I was player-coach in around 150. When player coach, I always lined up on the wing closest to the interchange. My height in centimetres is exactly the same as my playing number. Opposition players often pointed out a particular part of my playing attire (see if you can guess which part from the picture ):
