From memory the office furniture business got torched.
what a great peice on the swans wbsite about RDB worth reading.
Not sure what happened Nico but it closed not much later!
I suspect the failure rate for businesses started by ex-footballers is even higher than the normal failure rate,
and that's saying something. Someone needs to tell them being good at football only means one thing.
They are good at football.
Exactly. Of course, they were not full professionals back then and the money wasn’t what it is today. Some went on to own pubs and so traded on their identity and renown which was fair enough. A footballer’s career is not very long on average but I would have loved to play at that level if I had the ability!😊
Ronald Dale was unbelievable and helped us during a very difficult period. Thank you Ron!
I know the Hun in Melbourne can be a very annoying paper (it's basically Murdoch trash) but on Monday (I think) it had a great full page article on Barrasi saving the Swans in their hour of need and the influence he had on the club.....complete with a great photo of him in full Swans playing kit taken before his final coaching session with the team. A great read.
PS: I support the the renaming of the Premiership Cup, The Barrasi Cup.....or even a stand at the MCG to be named in his honour.
