check this out. the 2nd half of the 1985 chatham cup final
between napier and north shore. napier got relegated this
year and kevin hagan was player of the year.
interesting apperances by duncan cole, along with hagan and
allan boath, the only all whites at the time on show. hobbs
and henry would also later play for the national team.
in defence for napier, otago united's cam parkin's old man,
terry and up front greg brown, he who played for the all whites
before eventually switching to the socceroos. future all
white paul halford is also in the side.
for those of you who believe that our game has gone backwards,
i reckon this is proof. the standard of footy shown here is
well ahead of what we've been served up in the nzfc. maybe
all current nzfc players should get a perm like peter henry's
too...

Allan Boath was a bloody good player, brought out from the UK by
ChCh United. Most of these guys were less technically able than
todays lot but had huge attitude.
What's sight without sound? Love without peace? Copulation without conception?
