Ten years ago today...

Would you like a tissue, Hard News?

That calls for a t shirt

Plays song from Dan Hill (Theme song in the film First Blood)... It's a long road, when you're on your own.....

I missed that first one.  Seven days after Junior News' birth wasn't the time to bugger off to Auckland.

You're as whipped as Wilso.

Aren't you gonna list the starting XI and so a 'where the bloody hell are ya' update?

I'd have to dig out a programme to find the actual line-up... unless... hang on.

Nutting - Real estate Agent, occassionally Cap 3 Miramar
Lev Osman - VPL
Wytnon (JP 77) - Looney - J Perry at Waitak
David Moya (Che Bunce 46) - ?? - Che coach at Waikato FC
Robbie Middleby - North Queensland
Jacko - Living in Wollongong last I heard
Dino Menillo - ???
Marcus Stergiopoulos (RvS 77) - VPL (or retired) - Riki works for Sky - Auckland City occassionally
Ivan Vicelich - Auckland City
Aaron Silva - Thought he hung around in Auckland for a while but haven't seen his name for a while
Fred de Jong - Sky TV, NZF board.

Unused sub keeper would have been Jason Batty - Coaching in the US.

Perhaps a fan reunion at the next Nix game. I'm sure the ROF would be able to accomodate everyone.

Already planned for November 14th

cool!

YF vs Bloc 5?

and btw, who would buy a house off Nutting.

Royoftherovers and I could do a half eachway.

lol @ "Wynton - Looney"

Mennillo went to Wollongong Wolves and from memory won a Championship there.

Yeah, went to the UK for a while as well without great success.

Think he's back in Adelaide now

It's just everyone turning up at the game...

And a few beers and tales I hope

I think Ill dig out the Kingz gear for casual friday.

I am going to tear my room upside down, it's been a few years since I last saw the t-shirt signed by the bulk of the s1 Kingz squad.

You'll remember News, were you there when at the conclusion of the last game (against the Brisbane Bullets I think) of s1, they invited everyone up to the players lounge, as in there was an announcement telling anyone who wanted to come up go right ahead!

Memories of the first game against Carlton, JP putting at least two, possibly three corners out for throw ins.

Other enduring memory of Kings s1, the first win 1-0 against South Melbourne (really just guessing here to be honest, news, help me before I have to dig for the program)
Rugby convert checking out the Football going crazy after 44 minutes about 'the four extra minutes' actually talking to himself and listening to transistor radio. Best part was the four extra minutes at the end of the game had him going crazy about the nine minutes!

We've come a long way

You need a copy of 'Stand up if you love the Kingz'.



$5.00 plus shipping, funds to the Fever.

yea, should get one. give me a message with the back acc to put some funds into and let me know what the damage is for postage to Auckland.

I think I have every programme from s1 and most of s2, things start to trail off as I went south for uni but there's a decent pile from the other seasons. Hoping the book has more than I'd find by trawling those.

Also, let me know what's going on with those All Whites scarfs :)

I'd like to go to South Melbourne, and burn the Bob Jane down
I'd like to go to Perth Glory, and kick the shed around
I'd like to go to North Sydney, and teach them to make noise
And when they ask us who we are, we'll say the Bloc 5 Boys

rip kings

Found Scarf and two shirts. I suspect that stuff has gone missing during various moves though.
I did have a De Jong shirt.. Ill have to do some proper searching.Stefan2009-10-01 23:00:17

Was rolling in my Rufer Kingz shirt, although my memories of the last couple of Kingz seasons are VERY fuzzy.

Need one Newsie, keen on a key ring as well.

Being 4 years old does that to you..

Before your time much?Stefan2009-10-01 23:11:28

I liked the "ring a ding a ding, we support the Football Kingz, singing easy, easy!"

I actually got married in my Kingz shirt.

Marriage has lasted longer too.

if I knew how to upload photos
