00:00 So guys I would just like to know, starting with you Becky, what is your favourite memory
00:15 of the Salford Pop-Up?
00:16 Coaching the 87 Premiership, without a doubt.
00:17 All the other things were just personal accolades, but to take it on a group of players and finish
00:25 up getting to a Premiership here is fantastic and the great thing now, 40 odd years later,
00:31 is you can still catch up with the ones and relive those memories.
00:33 So yeah, from that point of view, fantastic.
00:36 Excellent.
00:37 Greg, what's your favourite memory of the club?
00:39 Probably starting in 1968 with Des Dixon as coach, so learning from Des and then coming
00:45 back in '75 and coaching him.
00:46 Unfortunately we got done in the Grand Final, but coaching him in '75 and also getting an
00:52 invite to the day, which I think is fantastic for the club.
00:55 OK boys, we're here today with the Storle Warriors Football Club's 150th.
01:00 Just want to know what's your favourite memory of the club?
01:03 I think it has to be playing together for the first time at open footy in, what was
01:09 that, 2019?
01:10 Easter?
01:11 Yeah, it was probably up there.
01:12 I reckon mine was last year I played before me mates, it was a twos game, but yeah that's
01:18 what you do, playing with your mates and yeah, that was good.
01:21 Ben, mate, we're here today at the Storle 150th.
01:24 Just want to know what's your favourite memory of the club?
01:27 Oh, plenty to talk about.
01:28 I mean, days like this are fantastic because you get so many people in the one place and
01:33 you can always trade blows and tell stories about yesteryear, but I think having people
01:38 in the one place that you really care about and you're all working towards a common goal
01:41 mate, I think that's what the footy club's all about.
01:43 All footy clubs are about that.
01:45 And then of course, netball, everyone else comes in, you've got members, sponsors, everything.
01:49 So, so many good memories on the field, but I think off the field, the friendships and
01:54 the camaraderie and days like this are pretty awesome to really get back into that too,
01:59 mate.
02:00 So, yeah, that's pretty much my best memories I think.
02:01 Yeah.
02:02 Yeah.
