Grateful Dead might get a run too 8)Mr Pumblechook said:Couple of those fellas in the background have hair-cuts from the time when KB was winning flags for the Tigers.
Bet the Doobie Brothers and Eagles got a good working over in their car on the way back!

They were dark years the 1950's and early 60's. My family lived in the country and we only saw a few matches each year. We went 11 years without seeing ONE Richmond win. We made a special trip down in 1954 because we were playning Fitzroy in front of the Queen - we had to win that one. Guess what !

Great speech by KB that hopefully the young fellas take to heart.
There is now a generation that has lived the same experience. Hope their love for the Tigers has been passed on as your own was.Cutterst said:Great to listen to and more importantly, everything he said about young players is true.

As much as he has been petulant at times, he is a tiger legend and we need people of his ilk talking to the young guys about the glory days. Give them something to aspire too.
