Sheez that is a blast from the past! Wasn’t his avatar something to do with doctor who?

I wonder how many from the wall are actually here or have been.

I always sing that Anzac day, I can't sing for sh*t, but plenty join in.

That'll be me for one, was on the Wall before they made it members only. I'm a pensioner so couldn't afford it. Was glad when the Chookpen came along.

Yes, a sad day, Doug was a bloody legend. RIP.

I've seen him posting on a doctor who forum so he probably used to have something Doctor Who in one of his old avatars here or on the Wall

RIP Doug...forever remembered in song.

Wonder why we reverted to the Easts song ...instead of Roosterman?
We own the Easts song but had to pay royalties for Roosterman?

[Hawkeye]

Whilst he did sing the Roosterman song, I think Doug was a Manly supporter. Terrific singer and performer

roosterman was a great song and forever associated with our rebirth in the late 90s. the players sung it from the top of the bus on the night of the 02 gf.

doug sang it so well - r.i.p.

RIP Doug Parkinson, your brand of entertainment will be missed. While I prefer the traditional Easts club song, I enjoyed listening to the catchy "Roosterman" tune.

[Kramer]

So sad, he was a legend what a voice. Rooster man will live on. Vale Doug.
