Total stab in the dark--Peter Welsh?

Nah, Woosha came over from Hawthorn.

Can't think who it could be, think that would stand out if he had been with the Doggies for 5 years.

 

[HK Tiger]

I want to say Allan Mc Kellar, but I think we traded him to Bullies.....will keep thinking

 

[HK Tiger]

Woosha came over in 1980 and played in the premiership team after being on the reserves interchange the weekend before - strange.
There was a Peter weslh at Bulldogs but he played in defence and was a tall not a rover.

 

[HK Tiger]

Can we have some clues...when did he leave tigers and where did he go to????

 

[londontiger]

Did Loveless ever play for the Tigers?

 

[HK Tiger]

Not sure. This was the time when we had Flea, Bomber James etc and I thought Buhagiar was at Essendon or Bombers.

 

[HK Tiger]

Sorry should have read Doggies, tired its late here

Michael McKenna, wore a helmet & No 30.

 

[Roar34]

Well done, Bigwow.

A doctor I see - in Tigers of Old. The headgear sounds familiar but can't remember much else.

 

[bigwow]

He played every game in 1985, then got shown the door at the end of the year.

It's all a bit of a blur.

I'm actually a friend of Allan McKellars sister. He had a big falling out with KB. KB thought he was lazy. I reckon KB may have been spot on ;D ;D
