Just got back from the Vic, was lucky enough to be given a free ticket to the Lunch with a Legend, guest of Honour, Super Gordon Watson. clappp

What a cracking event :grin:

After the lunch there was a Parkinson style chat between Chris Turner and Flash, where he gave some very candid answers about his time at the club, and certain places and people. rolfl

Given what's happened in the past to people posting on messageboards, I better not go into details, but suffice to say Flash doesn't have a high opinion of some bus drivers. rage

Asked if he was thinking about trying his hand at management, he said it was a possibility.
One of the funniest moments was when Len Ashurst was asking about whether he still did the dogs, Flash replied that he was currently president of his local GA... at which point the big screen next to Len cut to show the horse racing rolfl

Don't think I'm going to get much work done this after....

Easily the best striker I have seen at pools in my time.

A shame injury ruined the back end of his time here, he looked on fire at the start of our promotion season.

How come this event for the Centenary wasn't advertised to us commoners????

I really don't know, the first I knew about it was Monday when I was asked if I wanted to go.
I asked
1) Who's the legend?
2) more importantly, what's for lunch :laugh:

When I heard it was Flash though, the lunch didn't matter (soup, chicken cheese and biscuits btw)

There were a number of local media people there, including Paul Gough, Nick Loughlin, a table from the Mail including the editor and the mayor was in attendance too.

There was a raffle for centenary ball, old casey in a box with 1908 - 2008. It was number 1 of a run of 50.
Didn't win it :evil:
