my girlfriend's deadbeat older brother rang me at an inopportune moment to ask me to pick him up from a pub across town. Mumble grumble I get there and he's in the beer garden with another man drinking, they were both a fair bit older than I.
Anyway,over a beer we chat, his mate Peter and I got around to football (Aussie Rules) when my girlfriend's brother said "you know Peter played SANFL in the 60s?" (SANFL is our state based feeder league to AFL)
Me "really? who for?"
Peter "Sturt"
Me "Get OUT,I barracked for Sturt in the 60s,what's your surname?"
Peter "Endersby"
Me"................OMFG your number was 3 and it was the first number I put on my guernsey (jersey)"
I was having a beer with my first childhood sporting hero, all because of my girlfriend's useless, dropbeat older brother hehe
