Just heard a bit of Mr Skilton on the radio with KB.What an outstanding ambassador for our great game he is,speaks highly of the modern game an the amazing skills todays players have.
Dosent blow his own trumpet, an talk about how his day was better ,like certain old handbaggers ::)
Just love his passion for his club an players an how proudly he speaks of them.Imagine how it must be for Paul Kelly to have Mr Skilton call you his favorite player.
It just amazes me how the true tough champions i.e Barrassi ,of our game speak so humbly an dont rubbish other eras they just love the game for what it is ,yet Weekend warriors feel they can call AFl players squibs an duds :duh
Not unlike listening to The Great Allen Jeans at Club 80 a few weeks back I would just sit an listen till they said time to turn the lights out boys ;D
 
Read that he sends Adam Goodes texts after he plays well. What a buzz that would be, to have one of the all times greats say how good you were.
 
Listened to it as well CC.An absolute gentlmen of the game.In fact id support the Brownlow change its name to the Skilton Medal :clap :clap :clap
