Great imagery, DB! 15 brief words paint a picture worth a thousand more.
Nice one, Damian! A deft touch is at work here.
Thank you Ian and Kevin. Robbie was poetry in motion.
I met Robbie Flower around 1979 in Canberra.He conducted a footy clinic at Ainslie Primary with Cowboy Neale,our senior coach and myself.The kids loved him and learned many skills .A thoroughly nice man and what a skilful player he was.
He certainly was Laurie. I bought a pair of footy boots from him in 1988 – he had a sports store in Forest Hill. I was in awe of the great man, but he was nothing but an absolute gentleman. Very helpful and humble.
