Great picture. Was that Rooey's actual final kick?kosifantutti wrote:

On torps, it's a pity they've dropped out of the game almost completely.
A well-struck one is the equivalent to a drawn golf ball. The purest kick in football.
And they are accurate, too, albeit harder to mark.
Doug Wade kicked more than a thousand goals using mainly torps, so maybe they are under-employed when it comes to shots at goal. Answer to our set shot woes?

Also a terrific photo. Couple of nice wall posters there. The Champ's Final Kick and Club Legend to Future Club Premiership Star.kosifantutti wrote:The photo above was taken by Leigh Henningham, a great Saints man.
