    Default Ex Saints Player

    Me and my wife went to the indigenous all stars game in Newcastle, New South Wales last Friday, I had a Saints "T" shirt on, which got the attention of old guy (I'm 68) he approached us and introduced himself as an ex Saints player Brian Todd, he was a nice bloke and we had a good natter just as well as the game was crap and it was stinking hot, from my foggy memory he played one season at centre in the very early 60s, he loved his time at Saints sends his regards to all and that he is still alive and kicking at 79 , he played and coached in the late 60s in far north Queensland, coached in West Australia and was head coach at Port Kembla, he now lives in Maitland NSW.

    EDIT: How weird. It's as if Sonny has hacked the site so that all links lead to him.

    Told me a story from his days, that returning from one game Murphy was playing cards at the back of the coach and "borrowed" 40 quid of him, he says tell them if anybody over there bumps into him and gets it back for him, they can keep the interest , he had a good chuttle over that.

    1964 when he played ???? was that the year of a bit of turmoil with Bishop at scrum half and the attempt to move Murphy to centres ?????.
