One of Louie the Lip Richards classic comments I recall reading in the Sun involved Brucie
He had been in great form and Lou suggested to our up-coming opposition in his match preview that the only hope they had of negating him was to pray that the little bloke trips over his hyphen in the first quarter!!

craig o'callaghan (spelling? right first name?)
around 2001?
Craig "Dirty Harry" Callaghan. 172cm so you're right on that one! Came over from Freo in 01, kicked 20-odd goals. He was a good trier, didn't last long though, a few injuries curtailed his career.
I think Brett Bowey was my favourite Saints dwarf. Seemed like a good bloke too. Sat next to him and Harves at the 1992 VFA GF. It was a glorious day. Barks became a premiership coach.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!
There's a name from the past. Played with his son, Gary, at Elsternwick AFC many moons ago. Bloody good player too.
I grew up in the same street as Gary. Nice guy. Very funny with a mischievous grin. Always on the look out for a bit of harmless fun. And a very good cricketer too!
