      Not surprising really... It was a show only for young folk back in the 80's. You were probably watching reruns of All in the Family and I love Lucy instead.

        I met his mum when I was buying sopme Swans gear for my daughter Lily before she was born. She was over 6 feet tall as well. Very nice lady though.

          Little Jamie Lawson. Fastest player ever. So sad that he was cut down by injury just as he was really turning into something special.

            Yes it was.
            He was a bit lost, until the recent games, and finally started to show some form.
            Terrible injury.

              Poor Jamie Lawson. I was at the game where he broke his leg.

                For me it is Paul Roos and Barry Hall. I always loved watching Roos marshalling the troops from the backline. He was a very fair player and very skilled, excellent at reading the play. Big Bad was just great.

                    RWO - RedAndWhiteOnline.com

                    Roy Cazaly, Laurie Nash from another era.

                    But I'd go for Hall. Closely followed by Roos.
                    I think it could be down to 6 players. Vic Belcher: Roy Cazaly: Laurie Nash: Herb Matthews: Barry Hall and Paul Roos. I saw Nash and Matthews play but only in their final year. Nash was generally regarded at the time to be the finest to have played the game. Matthews was an elite midfielder with great skills in every department.
                    For what it"s worth my selections would be
                    1 Laurie Nash
                    2 Paul Roos
                    3 Herb Matthews
                    4 Barry Hall
                    5 Vic Belcher Roy Cazaly
                    Perhaps these last two could even be higher up as they go back a long way

                        So was I Donners. I was about the same size as Jamie at the time (about 10 years old), and it was tragic.
                        He was one of my favourite players I and do recall shedding a tear or two.

                          Yeah I was there as well and would've been 7. Will never forget it but I guess at that stage we thought we'd see him again. Was just starting to find his feet - close to BOG the week before in a rare win against Adelade.

                            Up until the 1980s Nash was universally regarded as the best player to have ever played the game and for some reason everyone forgot about him.

                            He is noted (amongst many other things) for coming on as a reserve in a State Game against WA and casually licking 18 goals from the HFF after half time.

                            He was also noted for taunting his opponents on the mark when shooting for goals, asking him which foot they would like to see him kick the goal with (even when about 60m out).
                            We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!

                              My dad reckons he was the best he saw. Also said Jack Dyer was afraid to go near him. Said Nash was tough but fair; Dyer just a plain average dirty footballer. Reckons Dyer created his own legend.
