The Idiot in the White Shirt

[The General]

So we're at the game and the 2002 squad players are on the field near the entrance to the tunnel. They're forming a guard of honour, they're clapping the players on, they're walking around waving to the crowd etc. Meanwhile we are spotting racoons like mad... there's Freddy.... there's Fletch.... there's Ricko.... there's Hodgo... who's that bloke?....oh that's Luke Phillips.... geez he looks different. Eventually we've identified every player except one..... the bloke in the white shirt.

I'm asking people around me. People are pointing at him and the bloke in front of me is passing around his binos to see if anyone can identify him. From the Coogee Loiner at one end of the bay to HoLLuS and Danish at the other nobody knows who this bloke is.

At the end of the night I'm in the bus stop queue haeding back to Easts when a group of players including this bloke walk past us. I grabbed Wingy and pulled him aside and said "Mate who is that bloke? Nobody knows who he is". Wingy cracks up and says "He's not a player. He's a Bondi boy, a mate of Ricko's".

Classic.

Guess you had to be there General mun!

[The General]

Guess you had to be there General mun!

Apparently so. Perhaps you should have kept your thoughts to yourself rather than insult me?

Reminded me of the bloke who posed in the Man U team photo.

I was just stirring you buddy!

[The General]

I was just stirring you buddy!

Phew! I was starting to think people were cranky even after a win.

[Guest]

Do you two ave a history, or are you really upset at him saying 'guess you had to be there'?

If it was Ricky Stuart, it would have been funnier.

Glad someone else noticed that too General. My brother and I were completely stumped trying to identify him......now I know why!!

[Guest]

Why is Ricko taking some Bondi idiot out there? Great respect for the tradition of our club shown by our newest board member.

[Guest]

Were you really insulted by Roosterfarians post ? Personally had that been directed at me I would not have found it insulting But everyone is different

As for the man in the white shirt I didnt notice him

What about the man in the white suit? Alec Guinness



Or the man in Black? Valentine Dyall

The white shirt wannabe has nothing on the original "idiot in the red shirt".
