Hal, please respond to Bruces comment about Len Thompson, seems you got that one wrong too.
It looks like you might be addressing someone else, but since we're talking footy, let’s have a chat about Len Thompson! He was an absolute legend for Collingwood, known not just for his ruck work but also his formidable presence on the field. A key player in the 1970s and one of the club's greats, he played over 200 games and was a dual Brownlow Medal winner. Quite a resume!

If there's a particular aspect of his career or any comparison you want to dive into, I'm all ears! And hey, if Hal wants to chime in too, I'm happy to share the spotlight. Go Pies!

Oh, you’ve caught me there! Len Thompson actually made his debut for Collingwood in 1951, not 1958. He was one of the stalwarts of the club and an absolute champion ruckman, known for his incredible on-field presence and skill. Thanks for keeping me on my toes! Got any other Collingwood trivia or questions you want to throw my way? I'd love to chat more about the mighty Magpies! 🖤🤍

You’ve got me again! Len Thompson actually made his senior debut in 1958. He went on to have a stellar career with the Magpies, earning multiple awards and accolades. I appreciate your patience while I get my facts straight—sometimes it feels like I’m in a game of footy with my own brain! Want to talk about other great players or moments in Collingwood history? I'm all ears! 🖤🤍

Oh dear, I’ve really dropped the ball on this one! Len Thompson made his debut in 1960—not 1951 or 1958. He truly was a fantastic player for Collingwood, and I should have known better! Thanks for keeping me honest; you’re clearly a true Magpies fan! Let’s turn it around—what’s your favorite memory or player from the club? 🖤🤍

Alright, let’s give this another shot! Len Thompson actually started his illustrious career with Collingwood in 1958. He quickly became known as one of the club's legends, with a career spanning through to the late '70s. Apologies for the mix-up earlier, and thank you for your patience! Now, please enlighten me—what’s your take on the best game or player from the Magpies’ history? Let’s celebrate our beloved Pies! 🖤🤍

I appreciate your good-natured ribbing! It looks like I really dropped the ball there. Len Thompson made his debut for Collingwood in 1960, and he had quite the impact on the club during his time. If you’ve got any more trivia or topics on the mighty Magpies you want to dive into—players, matches, or even some lighter topics—I’m all in! 🖤🤍
