I've still got my old wool jumper like Ken's wearing packed away, it's got No1 (Ken's number) on it. It was given to me by my Carlton mad uncle in around 54-55 when I would have been 3 or 4yo. Ah, where do the years go? I just went and dug the old jumper out to have a look at it and almost shed a tear. Pure wool, made in Australia says the tag. The number is gone, (I'd forgotten that) but you can still see the outline of the number where the colour is darker. |

When Australia still had a manufacturing industry but that is for another thread. |

Was reading an old book by Ken Piesse today, and he had a quote from Ken Hands on one of the pages. "I started off being a ball player, but I learnt the hard way. You're not human sometimes if you don't hit back." I'm glad Ken hit back. |
