  • I remember driving back from Tamworth as a kid in the back of the old HQ, legs sticking to the vinyl seats in the heat and breathing in the Winnie reds from the old man when over the radio came the news of his season ending injury that came in the trial game.

    Dad pulled the car over because I was crying and asked me what was wrong?

     " Didn't you hear that dad? The crow won't play anymore " 

    He replied " that's nothing to cry about" 

    I said back to him a little disgruntled with his lack of interest in the news " you don't understand!!! You don't bleed parra like I do dad"

    Dad is now 83 and on Father's Day last Sunday we had a laugh about that day.

    He as been I lifelong parra fan but on that day I overtook him as our families number one parra fan.

    The Crow remains one of my all time favourite eel, a great player a great man and when I head down to Gerringong to his pub and lucky enough to see him there and have a quick chat.

    I find myself in the presence of a true gentleman and outright great  bloke.
