Can't see shite, although I miss the big G-Train... they were great memories.

Booting that chair away and kicking a goal was great, along with the jump of joy in the goal square when we got a goal, the mullet, the pure strength, the nicknames (G-Train and his not so favorite... Jerrie), and the classic making the ground for the opponent who had his arms up then shoving him in the chest, runs around and slots a goal, classic move :D

I want him back, was good for football and us

He was a very large part of one the most potent forward lines we have ever had - lockett era included.
And for all Saints fans that can remember - he wrote the book on the lefty "arc" long before there was any controversy about buddy

At his best that year he was actually unstoppable. Lightning leads combined with unbeatable strength in a wrestle. And he barely missed a shot at goal - 103.39 for the year. Unbelievable.

Yes I feel truly blessed to have lived in an era where I have witnessed the careers of key forwards such as Lockett, Loewe, Gehrig and Riewoldt.

Hopefully I'll be able to add to that list before I head to that great Sainthood in the sky (no pressure Spence :P )

I love the g Train- he's just a classic say it as you see it type. One of the most frank discussions from a footy player ever.
