hello all, this is not really a topic as such, but i'm looking for assistance. i'm from ireland and have been a proud demons fan for over 5 years now. my other half is from melbourne and her whole family are demons crazy. my girlfriends grandfather (RIP) played for melbourne in the 30s, his name was Eric "Tarzan' Glass #16, every past player and older fan i've spoke to speak of him fondly as being a tough bugger who could change a game with his aggression and skill, he left melbourne the year before the won all those premierships in a row and went to williamstown and made their team of the century. he was best mates with norm smith and alan la fontaine. anyway i could go on for hours.

i'm wondering if anybody on this site knows where i could get a replica shirt made from the 30's?? is ther a company that remakes them etc?? its for my future father in law, who is a top bloke and i wanted to get him one framed etc.

ta in advance.

A family member looked after Tarzan Glass in his final years. I was told that Tarzan had a prolapsed disc in his back courtesy of a king hit from behind from Captain Blood Jack Dyer.

I have heard from old time supporters that Tarzan was as tough as nails.

Great story. Good luck with your endeavours.
