I now live in the far west and don't keep up with club politics ( Except Melbourne's).

I had a chuckle when I read an article by the new Richmond president Peggy O'Neal.

When I was a kid living in Victoria in the fifties we used to sing songs about different teams. Some not too flattering! Older posters may remember.

The Richmond one went like this;

"She comes from Richmond I bet you a zac because her bloomers are yellow and black,

Sweet personality, full of rascality, that's Peggy O'Neill."

So the current Tiger president had all the inside running! Pity the spelling is different but it sounds the same.

No matter, the name is the same. Both are a variation of the Gaelic Ua Neill. There are several other variations.

Thanks for that explanation America de Cali. I should know about that since my first name is Neil. Another variation of Neal and Neill.
