I noticed that there were Retro Ricky references on the Yellow fever tshirts and also the naming of the scholarship but I just wanna know if anyone could inform me of who Retro Ricky and why he's linked to the team and/or Yellow Fever please?

Ricki Herbert was our manager from the clubs inception right through until a week and a half ago. The 'Retro Ricki' is a reference to the days when Ricki was playing, rather than managing.

He was involved in NZ's first World cup appearance and as such is a part of Kiwi football and phoenix folklore.

In the Temple of Terry, Retro Ricky is our Lord.

In the Den of Thieves, Greenacre is our Lord.

Or perhaps someone young and new to the forum? Cyncal thinking says a troll, but then this might also be a genuine enquiry. Interested to know where the new member is from before make make too much of a judgement.

Had the pre-frontal, had the other op down south, got a nice bell around my neck and inside now it's all dark.

Yep I is real Telferised.  


... Chuffin Nora - just realised that Jnr Telfer is playing poofball this season.  And has been for quite a few seasons!  Mega disappointed.
