And I would have to say that day is the greatest day in the ESRLFC history & I was there as a 9 year old & I can still remember it.
Big bloke in his day.

He was not a very accurate kicker, but you're right he could toe-poke out of the ground.

Good thing we didn't need them in the end.
Langlands made Bruce Pickett look like Usain Bolt.
Bruce would have outrun a fit Langlands and just about anybody in fact.
The misplaced local anaesthetic injection into Changa's groin gave him an incomplete femoral nerve block, paralysing his quad muscles in his thigh. Looking back, it was a pitiful sight watching the poor bugger struggle on. The doctor responsible should have insisted he was hooked when it was obvious he was crippled.
One of the most infamous sporting medical blunders in history.

His Gridiron football career
Harris turned down a place on the 1973 Kangaroo tour to trial with an American football team, the Philadelphia Eagles. After failing to get a contract, Harris played Canadian football for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League. Harris played 7 matches as a long range kickoff specialist during the 1973 CFL season.

One of the most infamous sporting medical blunders in history.Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

I remember one day in the 70s when Mark Harris turned up at Henson Park versus Newtown in full gridiron outfit, helmet and shoulder pads and all, and scored a length of the field try head butting anyone in his way with the helmet. Then he sculled a can of KB in the in goal area. What a player.

I know the game was pretty tough back in the day but head butting the opposition with a helmet on whilst scoring a length of the field try doesnt sound quite right.
Where did he have his can of VB when he was scoring this length of the field try head butting anyone in his way?
I think you might of been on the magic mushies that day Maxy because Im sure the ref would have thought to himself that something wasnt right when he looked across & saw a bloke out there in a full gridiron outfit that didnt match the Roosters outfit.
