  Thanks EME2011. I think I vaguely remember something about this but I must have been young or not taking much notice cause it wasn't a Sharks player.
  
  Do you know approx when this happened?

  It was John Muggelton and Eric Snr. Arthur Beetson gives a great account of it in his biography!

  Eric Snr was still playing at the time, and Muggleton liked to think that he was a Mafioso. They burnt the car as an insurance scam and were seen by several eye witnessess who spot Muggletons flamboyant car, leaving the scene of the crime.
  
  Late 70's early 80's i believe!
