Those were the days when Footy was at its best!

The first person I met when I first made it to the sunny banks of Australia in 1988 was Jessica Mossop.. Rex's 6 year old grand daughter (I was 6 at the time too.. Before I start to sound too creepy....).. And I remember all the stories she told me about him.. It has been many years since I have heard of Jessica or Rex for that fact.. RIP Rex..
