What were you doing on this day 8 years ago? I remember it well...! Let's hope we can repeat at last.
What was I doing.... hahaha, I remember the day like it was yesterday.
I woke up next to the ugliest thing to have ever set foot in the slyfox (a lesbian den in enmore). She was around 55, 130 kg, grey shot hair crew cut, 2 front teeth you could park matty Ryan in the middle of.
I pushed her out the door after hitting it one more time claiming an emergency while gettin into me jersey. I claim to this day she was the lucky charm I had to work with.
I Remember travelling to the stadium, by the time I got there I was starting to get sauced, pre drinks, mates house in Surry Hills than to the fake Irish pub.
Remember rocking up and hearing the chanting at the pub, got f**kin loose. Remember ripping off me shirt before for we even entered the stadium.
I Remember the game, remembered being in the beer line at around the 40th min, thinking I was a f**kin genius as I'd miss the HT rush.
Remember turning around with 4 beers and seeing a flying Dutchman put away a textbook header on the telly. I remember celebrating with a beer shower in the concourse, I remember lining back up.
I remember a hand ball, and the Golden (Oldie) Boot winner slotting the Pen. I was uncontrollable in hugging my bro, so much so we fell the family behind us.
I remember the reverse Poznanz from the RBB when our boys collected their gongs (such disrespect).
I remember drinking with RBB members after it, commiserating them, saying it just wasn't their day, and that they'd win the next one, while hoping they'd have to wait like we had to (and they're still waiting).
I remember saying to my missus on my wedding day 5 years later, it was second greatest day of my life, and I still believe it, my wedding day comes a close second to that day.
