Percy Beames: a man for all seasons

I remember reading his articles as a young kid, didn’t realize he was a Melbourne Champion at first. When i did, his analysis had far more meaning. 
same with Doug Heywood

    He was a panel member of the ABC TV Footy Show with Doug Heywood. Essential viewing for the well informed young footy fraternity.

    ps. caption of photo in Age article is incorrect.  Percy Beames is standing sixth from the left.

    Next time any of you are in the vicinity of the Percy Beames bar in the MCC members check out the cricket honour board high on the wall. His stats are amazing. I remember him as a lovely old bloke on TV footy shows with none of the bs so common now.

    It was wonderful to read that had the NS medal existed then, Percy would have won three of them, which is pretty extraordinary given that Smith kicked an absolute bag (7 goals) in the 1940 GF.
