My favourite Jack Gibson quote
It was Gibson's funeral today. A sad occasion but I couldn't help remembering this great quote from him: "waiting for Cronulla to win a premiership is like leaving the back porch light on for Harold Holt." Superb.

Jack was a more than useful off spin bowler and one day having had several appeals turned down, upon trapping the batsmen dead in front and back on the stumps, turned slowly ( he never did anything fast.) to the umpy and gently inquired " Any News."?
