Thirteeen Minutes

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
