The Night Footballer

 

When Gaz returns to Simonds stadium,

 

the moonlight dances on his cranium.

    Lovely work Dame.

  2. Ha Ha, well played Damo

  3. Yvette Wroby says

    Well done.

    Great work Damian. Wonder if Gary Snr would have been better off going the chrome dome in his playing career, like his son has done so well, instead of his very 1980’s wispy mullet.

  5. There is certainly something romantic about the return of Gaz. Its a movie in the making. I hope he can run off with another premiership cup like the chief disappearing into the night at the end of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

    Is his chrome dome now a trademark with the same recognition as the Barassi moustache?

  6. Nice effort Damian (and of course only a spoil-sport would pull you up for forgetting that Gaz will be returning to GMHBA Stadium rather than Simonds)!

    Cheers all. I didn’t know that Froggy – what a tongue twister that will be for the commentators.

    I reckon you’re spot on Luke – although I think his old man was going for the Hulkster look, which was popular back in the day.

    I love this, vision and image.
    Surely it’s meaningful that GMHBA starts with a G and ends in an A. I think that calls for another stanza, Damian.
