Jack Dyer Quotes

[graystar1]

For a good laugh have a look on the RFC website today and read some of his classics.

They should not take away from his brilliance as the great that he was.

Luckily, I saw him play towards the end of his career and was in awe of his skill and toughness.

He is definitely the greatest Tiger ever.

How about each person writes one here from memory (don't look it up!).

My personal favourite:

I won't say anything in case I say something!

Next.

 

[Ridley]

"His arms reached up like a giant pair of testicles!"

I think there was another one where he said his neighbour or someone had just been on holidays to "The French Riverina"

I just loved the way Jack mangled the language, priceless

I loved when one day Jack was venting to Lou about how terrible Collingwood fans were.. He said about how when we played the Pies at Victoria Park, the fans would abuse you, spit on you, everything you could imagine. Lou then asked Jack what he thought of Essendon fans. Jack says "Essendon fans are just like Collingwood fans except they can read and write!".

Was it Gary Ablett that Jack called "a good ordinary footballer"?

I think it was Peter Bosusto from the bloos

Another of Jack famous quotes: "I once kicked a goal from such a tight angle that the ball got stuck between the goal posts"

 

[Baloo]

He said he hated Collingwood so much that he refused to watch black & white TV

 

[Tenacious]

He's always where the ball ain't

I thought there was an instruction to a player ............ “don’t get where the ball ain’t”

There is currently an ad on tv for a betting mob I think. Where guy whose team is 1 goal behind, takes a mark & he kicks for goal, "He kicks the ball so hard it bursts & the cover goes through the goals & the bladder goes through the behinds" naturally they win
That just happens to be another of Jacks tall stories.

Another of Jack famous quotes: "I once kicked a goal from such a tight angle that the ball got stuck between the goal posts"

That’s a ripper
And another about him flying so high for a mark that they had to throw the oranges up to him at 3/4 time

That's the ad for Furphy beer. Didn't realise it was one of Jack's furphies.

I'm sure I heard him say once that he had the record for the longest kick. He was playing at Glenferrie, and his kick went over the boundary as a train was going passed, and the ball ended up in Belgrave

Good one Baloo.
You reminded me of another one he used to say re C'wood.

I get up 30 minutes earlier every day so I can hate Collingwood for longer!
