Exactly right. It was Peter Cameron if I remember correctly. He always hated us and it was pretty obvious that day. Possibly the single most biased display of umpiring I have ever seen at the top level.
Correct..Twas Peter Cameron the twat (david clokes brother inlaw)..Remember that game VERY well as it was the last time I drank (big time anyway)at the footy.
Cameron was giving us nothing as always, and as I had drank a skinfull I was near the boundry at the Wellington rd end, and near the end of the game I gave him a fare mouthfull near the boundry line.He looked at me and smiled,blew a kiss and ran off.
Being the young imature man I once was (and with the goading of my 2 mates with me,one a bloody hawks supporter) I decided before the second siren to run on the ground and snot him (Yes stupid in hindsight).So if anyone was there after the 1st siren I was the idiot who ran on the ground and didnt get too far with my drunken run, and was tackled by 2 black bombers.
One of them in the scuffel gave me a couple of upercuts ,on which I then dacked him and punched the other and ran towards the members...Was funny looking back on it know as just as I jumped the members fence about 10,000 people yelled out run....It was the coppers chasing me.
Needless to say I had no energy to run up those bloody members stairs and fell down flat.Back then they were pretty good about it and just kicked me out,but outside with my clothes ripped and a bloody nose, and fat lip, the black bomber I punched and a couple off others tried to grab me again but all the tiger supporters walking out told em to f@#$ off and leave him alone.
Neadless to say walking out of Waverly down Brandon Park dve spewing my guts up to the constant toots and and laughing from cars passing by, I got back to my cousins house and after he took one look at me he just shook his head and said he was listening to the game on am radio and Crackers Keenan said it was a crap game but more a highlight for him was not dunstalls 17 but the D!ckhead who ran out on the ground afterwoods.
Sorry for the long story but just one other footnote is my senior manager (Tiger supporter) at work who i didnt work with at the time was there working and seen the whole thing (he didnt know that was me till 10 years ago) and always brings that story up at our managers meetings if there is a tiger or hawks supporter there...He luvs it more than me.
