Yes, it was Ron Clarke. He played a few games in 1959 or 1960. He wasn't too good and decided to stick to running.

f***! The other young punks were Beams, Nicholson and Simmonds. I'll go with the one who was knocked out and didn't get a stat - Ben Beams.

Sorry to jump in Donnie..

Who am I?

I started at another club.

Handy around goal, but inconsistent.

Part of my name could be attributed to "sharing/spreading the love".

Not really, I barely remember important day games let alone junk night ones, but I do remember that he did it and I remember him well enough.

Who am I?

I was a small, speedy rover recruited from SA in the mid-1990s. I failed to fire and my major achievement in my two senior games was to be caught on camera mocking Brett Heady over his protruding ears during a half time push and shove in Perth.
