Some more pics....
That's the ORIGINAL chequered flag there. Wow.
And that's Corporal Stotton in the Chrlton shirt I think.
We made that flag on the kitchen table at 17 First Avenue Kingsland.
Me, and Will, And Lance and Pox went to North Harbour stadium and stood on the far side of the ground, opposite the main grandstand. Kingz were playing the Glory (I think, although from News' post below I thought I was at the 3 - 3 draw with the Gong, so not sure now), and we were very very vocal. Giving the Glory beans all through the game. One of their players flipped us the bird too...
We had four flags. My chequered one, Will and Lance had horizontal and vertical striped ones respectively and Pox had a vertical half and half silver and black one.
At the end of the first half Mike McIlroy and one other guy (Might have been Stantial) walked around and said "You guys with the flags have gotta come and join us in Bloc 5!"
We said "What's Bloc 5?" (We were uninitiated back then). They explained...
So we went and joined the Bloc.
