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.
