I've been a Beatles fan longer than i've been a Collingwood FC AFL fan.(Because I came to Australian when I was 6)
Black_White The Beatles are popular by all ages because the music they produced was so good it never aged!
So it's not just for older posters Image
R.I.P George and John...

Music would not be what it is today without The Beatles, so whatever music we listen to today, young or old, The Beatles made a "Revolution" in the music industry.

George and John will be Rockin the Heavens!
RIP

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Meeting one of the Beatles ... or the Pies winning the flag?

I'm so glad we don't ever actually have to make these sorts of choices in real life, Greg.

I've never been O/S ... but if I ever do, I want to go to England. And the two cities I really want to see are London and Liverpool.

By the way ... it's known around here that I like Liverpool in the English Premier League. I've been a Reds fan since about 1965.

Now ... can anyone guess why I chose Liverpool?

Dick was my mums second cousin, her side of the family are all Essendon supporters. I remember him as a young boy, he gave me and my brothers plenty beacause we were Collingwood people, however always came across as a kind, generous, and funny man. Great man, magic footballer. RIP.

Jack Dyer was 89, and one of the genuine titans of Australian Rules football. Condolences to everyone at Richmond, and all those who knew and loved him in the community.
