Round and round we go for another year...same old argument...at least Ed's real age is out in the open now...I've been hanging onto that secret for the better part of a decade. So's Shane O'Sullivan.



For real? :eek:

Can you tell any more of the story? Eddie did look mature for an 18-19 year old when he started, but wow....

Yeah...nah...do you believe everything on wikipedia? Ed's age has been a topic of contention since he was first enrolled in Primary School.


Proof?


He had a moustache in 1990.

I first met him when he came across and played for Calder when he was around 15 (or so it was said). Cannons were aware/suspected that somethign wasnt right with his age from the get go.

Adelaide would have grounds to void Eddies contract if the material facts about his age weren't disclosed to them.

Possibly - but Ed's birth extract says he's 27, his passport says he's 27 and he celebrated his 27th birthday last November...so the law says he's 27. Doesn't mean he is actually 27...but what the hell....the doctor told me my biological age was 28 so if Ed can live with it - so can I!

Why did he do that Doc? In Australia, why would you amend your age, for what purpose?

I never said he amended his age, but I would bet this happens with lots of indigenous kids.

Liked the strip clubs too much. Parents forced him to get a Keypass saying he was actually 15 so they wouldn't let him in anymore.

Was it his seniors card that gave them suspicions?
