The Galahs

[Mac]

There's a nice video story on the site that cannot be named about the first 'world tour' that Harry Beitzel helped get off the ground.

Gives me a better appreciation of the current format in that it's quite a thing looking back at the stars that make up the team. Geez, the 67 Galahs were a cracking team, especially the tiger inclusions.

Funny to see footage of the 66 all Ireland final in black and white. Good fodder for the clash guernsey debate. If you can tell the difference between the maroon and green teams both wearing white shorts, good luck!

Just watched this doco on Stan. So many great players did that tour.

Tigers were Roger Dean, Paddy Guinane, Royce and Billy Barrot.
