Love the Big Nick and a happy Birthday to you sir. One of the best images and still gives me goosebumps is Kouta handing him the footy at Princes Park at our last game there. Legend. |

One of my big highlights as a longstanding Blues supporter was meeting Big Nick at the farewell game function at Princes Park in 2005- a great thrill (detracted possibly by my inebriated state! A fantastic night in all, given I lost my hearing-aid in the process!  ) As a whippersnapper growing up, as I first form words (to hear), Nicholls and Jezza were the ones I identified with easily- happy birthday Big Nick!

Big Nick: - was the best ruckman of all time ..... at about half an inch shorter than ...... Judd!!!!!! - kicked 6 goals in a winning grand final team........ at 33 years of age!!!!!! ...... while coaching the team!!!!!!! - in a club that has won 16 premierships and played in many final series, has won 5 (read it.... 5!!!) B&Fs. (for comparison, Jezza won 1, SOS won 2, Sticks and Braddles 3 each, and Doull 4. And this guy won 5!!!!) The best player I've ever seen, easilly. Happy Birthday big guy!! |

Mick and Mosche summed it up beautifully - Big Nick was a legend - Most influential carlton player ever - a general - players walked tall playing alongside Nick The steely blue eyes of big Nick had opponents trembling - told the rovers where to stand - a simply palmed it straight to them - body work sensational - battles between Nick and Farmer a sight to behold Back in 1972 - on his last legs engineered a brilliant win - kicking 6 goals from FP 1973 -When Nick went down in the FP early in the first quarter the whole G rumbled - our day effectively ended then |
