Pretty sure Yardley was Cricketer Of The Year one season. Maybe the summer John Dyson took that famous outfield catch off his bowling.
I feel old.

RIP.
RIP.
Just heard Geoff Harvey passed away. Great musician and funny bloke during the variety show days (Don Lane, Mike Walsh, Ray Martin)
Not technically dead but his political career is (thankfully) but bye-bye President Bouteflika. (Best name in international politics.)

Mike Williamson was a voice of my childhood and youth.
It pains me as a tiger fan to say it but “Jesaulenko you beauty”
Thanks Mike for all those nights in front of the tv watching footy replay as a boy

RIP Mike. Great commentator through the 60s & 70s. As a kid, I also remember him hosting a funny 70s variety show with Mary (?) which started just after the footy on Ch 7 every Saturday night.

The Penhouse Club with Mary Hardy. I think she was a mad Tigers fan. A very funny but tragic lady. Suffered quite badly from depression iirc.
Her brother Frank Hardy wrote the novel "Power Without Glory" based on the story of Businessman John Wren & termed the name "Carringbush" for Collingwood the suburb & footy club.

The Penthouse Club that's it. I was a kid but she was very funny and always got on well with Mike. I read about her private life which is definitely sad. She lived in South Melbourne but was a mad Tigers fan. One scene I always remember on The Penthouse Club was her & Mike holding hands and running quickly to another room to do the Tattslotto draw.....live! I had to remind Dad every time as he was a mad Tatts player.
