The obscure,stupid, trivial and ridiculous facts on the Pies

[thompsoc]

I’ve got nothing to whinge about this week so I thought I will do something different.
Someone said in a past post that I seem to have a reasonable knowledge of Collingwood’s past
I don’t really but I do remember a number of obscure, stupid, trivial and ridiculous facts.
It seems to me that a number of posters enjoy a trivial pursuit challenge.
So here are my questions to them

1. Which Collingwood player did “2 knees” in the one match.
2. In the Stan Magro bump on Alex Jez at Princess Park, did Alex stay off the ground or did he come back on?
3. At the infamous Elephant stampede at North Melbourne what colours was the elephant wearing?
4. Billy Morrison was taken at pick 17 for Collingwood. How many goals did he kick for us and allegedly what sort of food did he like?
5. What sponsors name was on the Collingwood Guernsey in 1980?
6. Who was the singer at the 1980 grand final and what did he/she have in common with one of Bob Rose’s son’s?
7. What was the price of admittance to the final game at Victoria park in 1999?
8. What was on the top of the wall that spanned Vic park back in the good old days?
9. Where did Ronnie Wearmouth and Murray Weideman the coach go that made them late for training?
10. Who was the infamous Nickster who use to dress up as the rhinestone cowboy and camp out next to the yarra falls end at Vic Park?
11. Who was Billy Pickens sparring partner at the footy and what did Billy often do just after running onto the ground?
12. How far out was the Wayne Harmes boundary ball?

This is how good our seasons going. We have to think up crap to entertain ourselves as the team struggles to do that.

1. Luke Ball against Carlton in Round 3 2012.
2. Stayed off the ground - He woke up in hospital from what I remember reading.
3. Blue and white - I'm guessing based off the fact it was entertainment at Arden Street.
4. No goals and no idea what food he liked, but I'll guess eggs
5. Yakka
6.
7. $10 - Taking a wild guess as I was only 5 at the time and have little recollection of it.

In a lazy mood today, so I will only answer the last one, Harmes was so far outa bounds, that he actually bought a hot dog off kid in the stands, and still had tome to punch the ball back.
