Ben Mathews Fan Club - YES REALLY!

[Wazza]

Does Ben Mathews play for us?
Sometimes I only get to see the highlights never noticed him though....

[S.U.D]

Dear Swansong,

See what happens when you start the Ben Matthews fan club! You end up like Ralph Wiggum, no friends.

I suggest you close this down and come and join my Vote #1 Paul Chambers drive.

Kind Regards,
S.U.D

I am only interested in Brownlow potential fan clubs...has Benny ever got a vote?

Yes, in the game where he broke the world record for turnovers.

Except, when they read out the vote it was:

3 votes - Ben Matthews - Collingwood

And when the doctor said I didn't have worms any more, that was the happiest day of my life!

Then, the doctor told me that BOTH my eyes were lazy! And that's why it was the best summer ever

I wish you all the best with your club but advise you find a warm telephone box in which to hold meetings.

Thanks - what an interesting brownlow site.
I notice even Saddo had 5 votes, NOG too.
Anyone else remember Kevin Hogan, an honest rover type of the 50's who also got 5?

Do recall Kevin Hogan. Blondy/sandy hair I think. I was only 10 when he gave it away. Brian McGowan picked up the job as understudy to Skilts after Kevin. Brian wore number 3.

The is absolutely no doubt about it Mathews possesses photos.

Nico - we must be of similar vintage (1946) - yes I remember Hogan as a serviceable / likeable player as I recall from those heady (but terribly unsuccessful) Lake Oval days. It was another world.
Brian McGowan was a terrific player, though overshadowed by Skilts. Together (& with a few others like Johnson, Clegg, Keyter & Talor) they made many miserable results a little easier to take. Wish there was an equivalent at the moment.
