ah, I forgot them!

For some reason I was thinking of Spicers and not Yakka when I said Primus... Yakka goes back to the 70s, doesn't it...

Mini Skips sponsored Collingwood from 1986 - 1988.

The number was '887 2255'

Very interesting Macdaicos.

While there's no doubt of the phone no. in that TV commercial, I'd confidently say that Ad was not run in Victoria.

I remember going to Vic Park during that '86 - '88 period and the club played a very similar and annoying cadence type Mini skips Ad over the PA system, the phone no. in that ad was 417 5000 that's Four One Seven Five O Double O.

Does this mean none of you posters know (or shriek! care) about my Q?

Who was the player ~ or which game was it in ~ when the apple core came out of the crowd & hit his face as he was having a shot at goal?

Hint, in a match at princess slime park.

Time's ticking by ..... no answer by tomorrow, my turn with another Q 8)

I'll take a guess at a couple of players.

Princess Park - so I'll go with Carlton or Hawthorn.

Taking a shot at Goal - Kernahan, Sartori, Minton Connell, Matthews, Brereton, Dunstall.

Who would I throw an apple core at - Kernahan or Brereton.

I'll go with Dermie.

Half right MG!

It was in a match against the hawks at princess park.

We won after the siren, cos the opposition player missed & kicked a point 8)

None of those slimeyballs you've listed tho.

Nope.

A few years earlier.

A photo was taken of the entire Standing Room crowd behind the goals, with circles drawn around the possible culprits.
