Gus telling it like it is with the Andrew Walker "Spiral bomb"

I was told just the other day that Walker is still playing...
He is captain of Fassifern in the Ipswich league...
Might have to catch a game in the near future...

My personal favourite .
Walker seemed to kick that ball at a great distance, so effortlessly.
Had very little trouble sinking a schooner too.

[Spanner in the works]

Was watching the Ashes last night and ex-Wallaby Joe Roff was talking about the most talented players he had ever seen and played with. He said that Walker used to commentate to himself in the third person whenever he was running the ball. That's quite extraordinary.

I agree wiuth Gus .Walker was easily the most naturally gifted player I have ever seen.. if he trained hard and meant business he wouldve been one of the all time greats.
Ill never forget yonks ago when he was supposed to ne out with ankle injury etc ...the truth was he went walk about... turned up to the Brisbane semi final with his gear and said g'day Im ready to play.Its the only time Gould started him from the bench.Walker had missed through the years a hell of a lot of training but Gould was always happy if he just turned up on game day.

Mine as well.Brings back a few memory's for me Spanner.I was in the dressing room after he played against Easts it was an end of season game in Port Moresby he was playing for Papua.Easts signed him immediately .He actually played 5/8, in that game and scored a couple of trys,he came down to Sydney the next year and as they say the rest is history

Big Mark is still my favorite all time Rooster.
He didnt have to run at holes.He just ran straight over the top of defenders creating holes.
Still have the visions of him from 1975 rd.17 running like a steam train in our 44-7 romp against the Dragons...

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

As a five-eighth we never saw the best of him, but as soon as Gus switched him to fullback, boy, was he dynamic. He was our X factor for a while there. If you look up the word "mercurial" in the dictionary -- there's a picture of Uncle.

Still holds the club record, too, for requesting the most number of free tickets to a home game -- I think it was 75 for one game.

I used to love watching walker but to put him above fittler as some have suggested I think is a real stretch, even SBW & he hasn't finished his career yet.

He certainly was brilliant the day he scored six tries against me as opposition halfback in the Commonwealth Bank Cup! I blamed my five eighth.
