It's interesting how some players have changed in [HASHTAG]#20yearchallenge[/HASHTAG]. Webcke and Fittler pretty almost much look the same though. Martin Lang looks ugly as hell, he should have been in a Frankenstein movie...or The Adams Family.

Wasn't Broncos/Qld/Aus the same team in 99?

That Broncos jersey is perfect definition of mediocre.

There’s a filler in today’s Courier about what teams the writers went for. Badel is an Eels fan so that explains a lot ...

Knew him 40 years ago but lost contact as you do. Grew up listening to him and watching him clown around. Everytime some personality dies that I've grown old with I am reminded how close I am. Probably only got less than a handful to go if I'm lucky. Back on topic, RIP big fella.

A lot of the youngins here may not remember but used to love watching him not only on the league broadcasts on channel 10 back in the day, but also on that priceless show, It's a Knockout with Jackie McDonald I think it was. Was good fun to sit back on a Sunday evening and listen to those belly laughs of his.
They don't make tv personalities like Billy J anymore sadly.

Noway. He was the guy on it's a knockout? I used to get up at 5.30am on a Saturday as a kid to watch that show. Many fond memories.

That's where I first met him, tv world. No, it's not on YouTube, it didn't make the cut! There was tv back in the day ha ha and can you believe talk back christian radio (call screener) something I was part of in the very early seventies! He was an energetic funny bastard, quick wit with a bit of an angry edge at times.

Yeah the tv hosts of today are so one dimensional aren't they. I think back in Billy J's day as well we were not as a society so bent all out of shape with political correctness the way we seem to be today. And by that I don't mean anything like being nasty or racist to anyone, just a little more light-hearted in the way we interacted with one another and how hosts like Billy J communicated with their audiences.
