| Post subject: Fabulous Phil on Marngrook |  |
|
Was chuffed to see Fab Phil on Marngrook tonight; didn't say too much to be frank, but still nice to see a former pies great.
Wasn't privileged enough to see him playing in the flesh, but he always looks a treat on the old videos.
100 games over 4 clubs, and a stint coaching Sturt. Still a pies fan by the looks of it.
What was most interesting was him discussing the clearance battles he had with the pies as a 17 year looking to play in the SANFL; talk about starting off on the wrong foot!
For what its worth, no one had the balls to ask him about snotting Tucky in the 1977 2nd semi

| He still looks pretty good for his age. He must look after himself. He was the only one on the panel to tip the Pies. |

| He shared a house in East Melbourne with Len Thomson a few doors up from ours in 1976 and they were both top blokes, who used to often talk to the kids in the neighborhood. |

a Gippsland boy if my memory serves me. he turned up to pre season training for Norwood and ran rings around all in his first year. a bit of a wild one.

According to a former Board member at the time he blamed a lot of the problems between Collingwood and Phil on his Missus.
Mainly money issues.
