Awesome call DJR, almost like being there.

your birthday too, innit?
Nope. But if I’d been microscopically dumber/lazier (HECS score 328 instead of 329) I’d have probably been relegated to my second choice of Uni degree, as taken by Hird and the then-new Australian boomerang throwing champion.
someone here shared birthday with the great man, it escapes me.
Hird clears and kicks long. We tackle it to a bounce.“James Hird… got that ball out of the centre bounce… he’s moving down to this contest… if anybody’s gonna get it, it’ll be James.”
Murphy. Smothered. Hille tackles. Bullen gets it out to the passing…
“Hird! HIRD! … The fairytale is complete!”
‘After a horror week, James Hird, you are a genius!”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player just control a quarter like this. I think he’s had fifteen disposals. [HE HAS.] He’s had fifteen disposals, kicked a freakish goal, has won the important clearances — he’s had six clearances this final quarter [AND HE’S GIVEN AN ESSENDON SUPPORTER A MOMENT HE WILL NEVER FORGET.]”
(And that supporter’s Collingwood girlfriend thinks Hird is amazing, too.)
The only time in his putrid footballing, coaching, writing and commentating career that Robert Walls ever covered himself in any sort of glory.
Anyone got link to hirds goal just before half time on Anzac day?
Hoping JH is getting all the peace and joy possible in his life. Happy Bday.
Happy Birthday James
I thought his birthday was in February

Unsure about video footage but here’s some audio from Rex Hunt and 3AW at :46 seconds in
Happy birthday to a club legend
You guys know this is an old thread. His birthday is in February.
Who said we’re slow!

BULLEN, HIRD HIRD
Great call Robert Walls.
I was in Vietnam for his birthday, happy belated birthday james you absolute legend.
Press conference fuels their darkest fears
Enter Fatty Vlad from the AFL game
He sees a chance to spill some blood
Cries out “My God I hope it’s not me you’ll blame”
This is the story of Hird-St-James
The man the AFL came to blame
For something that he never done
Put through hell but one time
He was the champion of the world.
Three bodies sitting for everyone to see
And another man named Gil moving around mysteriously
“Hird did it” he says and throws up his hands
"The club is to blame I hope you understand.
I saw them injecting he says and he stops
One of us had better call the ex-cop"
And so Gil calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with no idea
During the summer of 2013.
Meanwhile far away in another part of town
The players and their coaches are running around
Genuine contenders for the AFL crown
Had no idea what kind of shi.t was about to go down.
They decide Dank and Robinson are the ones to blame
Just like always they’ll control the game
In AFL that’s just the way things go
You do what you’re told or stay off the street
Less you wanna draw the heat.
And Ms Andruska just nodded her head
Looked at Robinson and said “this one’s brain dead”
So let’s offer him a deal
Because the AFL have told us they feel
It must be James Hird who takes all the blame.
This is the story of Hird-St-James
The man the AFL came to blame
For something that he never done
Put through hell but one time
He was the champion of the world.
Four years later the case goes up in flames
The players are in Switzerland fighting for their names
And an ex-cop refuses to play by the rules of the game.
He thinks he’s doing society a favour
But that ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ is brave and getting braver
He needs to be held to account
As this farce of a process is on him
He ain’t good like our Gentleman Jim.
Hird could turn a match in just one quarter
It was the Hawks he really did love to slaughter
It’s just a game he’d say, which I love to play
But when it’s over I’d just as soon go on my way.
Jimmy’s cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus he never had a chance
And although they could not prove a thing
They said he was the one who did the deed
And a gullible, stupid public agreed.
James Hird was falsely tried
AFL, ASADA, WADA all baldly lied
And the newspapers they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
To see him obviously be framed
Couldn’t help but make you feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.
This is the story of Hird-St-James
But it won’t be over till we clear his name
And give him back the time he’s done
Put through hell but will always be
The champion of the world.
Happy Birthday Fletch
Wowee.
Great stuff , stir fried ewok.
