Trevor Marmalade, Sam before he became the old man yelling at cloud (and when it was still cool to be a sexist old flog), and it being the quickest way to find out who was in the team are my memories of TFS. Don’t reckon I’ve watched an episode since the early 2000s at best.

I stopped watching the same time The Ox copped a cream pie in the face.

Some years ago I knew a girl who attended the same high school as Jacko. She told me he was exactly the same at school as we saw him playing football and the way he spoke in public. No way did he put on an act. That was his true self. (According to her).

He was certainly a character...  & really,  I'm glad he started his career with us.

I think we should celebrate that fact,  and one of the biggest characters in the game.

That was a turning point for the footy show and it said clearly,  that it was about media players,  and not about Footy.

Sam took two tumbles at the same time,  in that show...  one was witnessed...  and one was on a parallel universe...  the subconscious universe of respect lost.

All downhill sailing,  from that point.

A Peter-Hillier-esque level of comedy but was all eyes when teams were named.

Short of seeing a premiership, I think Wacko Jacko's handstand protest after remenstrating with goal ump is my greatest footballing witnessed moment - was anyone else there?

 

Now according to the herald sun they are talking about Turd and Crawford pitching to do a sunday night show. No thankyou 

The Footy Show died with Gary Lyon's departure in my opinion. All down hill since then.

They kept the show treading water with Gazza, but only just. 

It was just Sams mirror,  me,  me,  me,  me.  and so on... .  geez that bloke has stooged Ch-9  for  $quillion$.

 

I'm just glad its over,  now maybe footy can make a comeback.

Lets get rid of  Gillnet McL...
