Thread: 35 years since our Escort Cup Premiership.

  1. #1

    Talking 35 years since our Escort Cup Premiership.

    Boy, does this bring back some memories. Given the drought we were in, in that era, it was quite a big deal. Escort Cup: 35 years on - February 18, 2017 - sydneyswans.com.au

    Brings back fond memories of Barry Round & Tony Morwood.

    Also Colin Hounsell, someone I'd forgotten.

    Great footy!

    The shorts really were shorter back in the 80s. That's what the game was most famous for in Sydney back then.

    What was Taubo thinking, kicking for goal without his boot?

    Always good to see vision of the great D R-J running around in red and white. A very sad day when he left to go to the Blue scummers

    If he was a player on our list today he would be quickly signed to a 5 year deal.

    That and the dramatic men behind goals in white coats and hats. Bring 'em back.

    I love watching this game on DVD every now & then. Sydney's winning prize money was just enough to pay one of today's rookie's with change ($105000)

    Some of our players that night:

    3 Morwoods played in a premiership

    Sam Reid's uncle John

    John "Jack" Lucas - father of former Carlton player Kane

    Michael Oaten - son of former South great, Max
