    I couldn't decide who i wanted to be.....Beetson, Fairfax or Schubert....but it was because of them i was hooked on the Roosters

    When i was about 12 years of age there were 3 school mates at Bankstown Boys High who got offered a Roosters gear bag, socks and shorts to play in the Roosters junior comp. I wanted to join them but my folks wouldn't let me get on a train- and really preferred me to play soccer until it became so obvious i was hopeless that they would be embarrassed . I ended up playing for Bankstown Sports Club for a few years and got graded at the Bulldogs where i played in the U/23 comp for 2 years- but i wasn't good enough to go on.
    Bloody hell all i really wanted was that Roosters gear bag- it was sooo cool!!! Had the old emblem with E.S.D.R.L.F.C underneath it

      I live on the wrong side of the road to be a Rabbitohs supporter. The border literally cuts across my street.

        Hi RR, what year? I went to Bankstown Boys for the last terms of year 12 then played for Bankstown Sports for a year. Tried out for the Roosters U23s but wasn’t good enough for Artie and didn’t make it. I’ve always maintained that having a young family at the time prevented me from wearing the RWB ( that’s what I tell my children )

          1991 i got graded at the Bulldogs. I wore the green and gold ( Bankstown Sports- not Australia haha!) for 6 years prior- Michael Appleby was one of the best players in the comp back then-great guy too

          I played with David Seidenkamp before he joined the Roosters

                I’ve actually got the pull over jumper with the same print but the short arm cardie is a ripper. Would look good with a pair of Fletcher Jones shorts a long white pair of socks with garters & brown suede slip on shoes.

                            Funny how some kids make it and some of your superstar junior footy mates dont kick on'. I played a lot of schoolboy footy against brandy and sirro. **** we used to smash Sironen hard annd early and you wouldnt see him again for the rest of the game'.At 16 he was already 6''4 and fast,had no ticker though.Still went on and had a great career. Brandy used to carve us up no matter what we hit him with.

                              Greg Alexander was a few years older than me but i remember seeing him play live a few times for Pat bros Fairfield in the Commonwealth bank cup. How someone could have so much natural talent at such an early age was incredible.

                              Super fast- lightning off the mark, magnificent hole/line runner, brilliant long and short passer of the ball, freakish hands, super accurate long & short kicking game- his chip & chases were amazing, great technique front on & cover defender and could kick goals from anywhere.

                              Besides that he had nothing!

                                Firstly, I was born in Paddington and spent my youth days going to Rushcutters Bay and Double bay, awesome places. But apart from that, I love most our sports ethics. We were never a club to advocate crusher tackles or laying down to get penalties. We always strive for excellence whether in attack or defense. Our playing temperament and quality is so high that we can lose penalty counts for years, and yet still come up with back to back premierships. And we definitely would have won this year if not for some freak injuries to a few of the players we needed to be there to win it.

                                The Sydney Roosters = the most resilient sporting team and club in the world.
