Aboriginal players

[PJ]

Choc is the nickname a number of aboriginals take on football players or not. I've never heard of Italians being called a Choc- I call them wogs

Wogs in the nicest possible way

watmoughs father is italian, he nick named his son choc. I am pretty sure he isn't aboriginal

 

[PJ]

that may be the case with the nickname but I'm pretty sure he is part aboriginal from his mothers side unless the person I got the info off (who his aboriginal himself & apparently related) is a b/s artist. That's why I presumed he was called choc because he was part aboriginal- didn't know his old man was italian

His father doesn't look Italian.

\"Choc\" Watmough (he is aboriginal)- in answer to your question Crusher I know of a number of young aboriginal players who have been signed up by Manly from country areas. Problem is alot can't handle the city/ themselves and end up heading back to the bush.

or Redfern.

My reply wasn't to you dan. It was to still man who said:

"watmoughs father is italian, he nick named his son choc. I am pretty sure he isn't aboriginal"

Also, jatz, if you knew what pics I had of you, you wouldn't argue with me half as much as you do. :dance: 😉

I'd say that's his step dad. I met his father in Cairns and he told me his life story. He said a heap of lovely things about his ex wife also
