I REMEMBER the magnificent Hyde St Band, who used to walk around the ground at half time, trumpets blaring the Bulldogs theme song – ‘Sons of the ‘Scray’ back then – and carrying a huge blanket with people from the crowd throwing their change onto the ground.
Can you imagine that happening today! Didn’t fancy the coins in the back of the head, but it was all in good fun. Those were the days.
