      Yes, agree. Bevo is very friendly.

      And while on past players, Heath James. I was on crutches when I met him (after a Swans losing game and after he did his hammy again) and he spent 5 minutes chatting to me making me feel better about my broken leg.

      Matty Nicks is great as was Tadhg Kennelly.

          The player that stayed the longest for photo opportunities with the tin lids after the 05 GF at the SCG was Jarred Crouch. 2nd longest Nick Davis.

            Some might say a little TOO nice...

              Russell died later that night. I still reckon Heart Cat is partly to blame for sending poor Russell into a panic attack.
              Has this been investigated?

                I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                  Yup, we became Nick Davis fans after watching him on a couple of different occasions talking to fans (mainly kids), and spending quality time with them, eg having a kick around with them one year at Newcastle after a preseason game. He wasn't Mr Popular (eg Barry Hall, who escaped the back way and disappointed heaps of kids), but he was sweet and genuine and kind.

                      Nic Davis sweet.

                      This I need time to digest. Not disputing it, just.....

                        I can second that and Primmy if you speak to most Pies fans they will also reiterate that he was one of their most approachable players. Always had time for autographs or to have a chat/kick.
                        Davo is a very easy going and likable character.

                          Absolutely. His career should have been huge. Imagine how great he would have been had he been there for the 96-2000 era Swans? Remarkable player. A very sad end indeed. We will never forget the thrilling exploits of the diminutive #1.
                          It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

                            I was actually at Lawson's last game. We got belted, it rained all day, Cresswell dislocated his kneecap, Kelly was reported and an exciting young player had his career ended.

                                Suits me. If he is like Craig then he is probably a beaut.
