I remember mark playing for Kone Tigers in port moresby in the 60s.Was there watching when had a blinder against easts playing for papua .Easts had come up on an end of season trip they signed him on the spot the rest is history.Mocca van Herreken was the coach of the papuan side.

[The Axe]

Anyone who has not seem hiom play, go to youtube and look at 1974/75 highlights. He's the one with the broken nose, moustache and powerful strides. What a player. I remember a game under jack Gibson where Harris tapped the ball and threw a gridiron pass to the winger on the other side of the field. Love MH

[The Brain]

On eof my old faves .Great bloke too

[Tommy Smith]

Would have loved to have seen him play.

Our greatest post-war centre?

I've heard great things about John Brass too.

Perhaps Latrell and Fergo have the potential to be our best and most devastating centre pairing since those two.

[Mickie Lane]

I remember when my dad & pop used to take my brother & I into the sheds after the games at the Sports ground to get autographs from the players & that I was scared to ask Mark Harris for his autograph because he was such a thick set big ugly looking guy. But when he was on he could certainly play.

I remember going bananas in the Bob Stand watching his 1974 GF try - at 1min 40 seconds here:

I take it you never saw Gavin Orr and Steve Deacon ply their trade?

[Tommy Smith]

Haha no I never had the 'pleasure'.

My first full year as a Roosters fan was 2000 (arrived from England in August 1999). So I came to the party at a good time

[Johnny Tobin]

You have been spoilt.

Haha! That made me laugh. I always thought that Steve Deacon was going to make a real good centre. He never seemed to kick on though.

Thanks for posting that clip Spirit. I was born in '72 so have no memory of Mark Harris playing. Geez, he was a solid unit, wasn't he?!! Where do we get more like him?

Harris was a beast,over 100kg in an era when most outside backs were on avge 15kg lighter than that and he was one of the quickest as well. To have similar in today's game you would have to have someone around 120 kg who ran like the wind. Also played outside a classy ball player in Brass who was the perfect foil.

Brass was the complete footballer.A dual international. Harris and Brass also had great 5/8s being ex wallaby John Ballesty and Peard of course. Ballesty played during the time Gibbo took Peard to St George.

[eddie]

I might bit biased, but I still have Brass and Harris as the centre pairing in my best Easts team.

Harris , on his day was untouchable, although his hands could let him down a bit.
It was a "maloney-like" decision to let him play for the Bears.
He should've been the first Easts player to 200 games.
