Heres a Video I prepared Earlier...

[ROC181]

No just kidding...I found this one and if anyone hasn't watched it, then you'll be amazed of some of the 1975 talent. I had forgotten how fast Mark harris and my old teacher Ian Schubert at #2 was.You can compare these two with any backs playing today...I also recall jumping the fence after every game at the Sports ground and seeing giants Bob & Des Oreilly, Ron Coote and co. Those were the days..Enjoy!

Mr Roosterman....any chance you could tackle the 1975 season? With your ability it'd be the best video on youtube!

Thank you for posting the video ROC181. It has brought back many childhood memories, how great was that side, what a backline. How many tries did "monkey" Mayes score that year? Great to see my heroes in action once more. Thanks again ROC181.

Brilliant - saw lots of the 75 games - Johnny Brass I loved watching him a complete footballer

Like I said, Ian Schubert was a trainee teacher and had my class that year, thus I became a Roosters fan, or more like Easts fan as back then you normally mentioned the name of the club. I remember how prior to the GF, the Mirror came into my school to have a story about Ian and we all appeared in the paper with a message on the blackboard that read 'Easts To Win', which i proudly wrote I also remember the collission that Ian had with Lord Ted and he came to school, no BS, the next day to take the class with shades. Nothing about celebrating the night after...it could have been the Tuesday now that I think about it as they may had a KB or 10 after the GF.

As for the backline...you know when people say that Jennings or maloney, whoever is playing now is a great rooster of all time, you know I think that you have to give them time. Mark Harris did about 9 seasons I think and he deserves to still be one of the best centers we've had. jennings may take that but only history will tell, not one season. Also Schuberts speed and twists to make breaks, Arties elegance, Mayes perserverance, Brass, Mullins and the rest...all greats!!!

That's a cool moment Roc. I am about the same age as you Roc remember being the only Easts Supporter in the school when we all told to go home and support Canterbury in the 1974 grand final.

Loved watching the video again what a job it would be defending against Harris and Mullins, brilliant side and my all time favourite Artie Beetson. Fantastic support play and Ian Schubert was great.
