Geoff Toovey Farewell Evening

[SeaEagleRock8]

Great to hear the event is sold out, sorry I couldn't make it myself.
Hopefully someone can post some news afterwards, especially re Geoff's next move/future plans, for which I and so many Manly fans will be wishing him well.

Yes, should be a fantastic night but a correction on the post above - Tickets are NOT available on the door and as you'd expect we are fully sold out for this function.
Sorry but as it's at a licensed RSL club and the event was subject to limited numbers then no ticket no entry unfortunately.
For those that will be there I look forward to seeing you tonight!

Have a wonderful night. Wish I could have come down for this.

Thanks are not enough for all that Tooves has given to Manly

No, they're not, but I thanked him anyway 🙂

Tooves didn't really talk about any plans, other than to enjoy his favourite hobby - fishing - now he has the time. He was given some fishing gear as a farewell gift, so no excuses.
We saw some memorable footages of his playing career at Manly, as well as for the Blues and Australia. Various people paid tribute to him, including Donny Singe and Max Delmege, amongst others. It was a great night put on by the Football Club, most enjoyable

I heard zorba dressed up as the hamburgler and stole the buffet.

Thanks for that ALinda.
Hope he catches a few fish then.

Great to see plenty of Tooves former teammates there - Cliffy, Darryl, Jughead, Hancock, Hoppa, Spud, Beaver amongst others. Rose Tattoo played as well, Tooves even had a bit of bop on the dance floor 🙂

Huh? That's strange.

Didn't the players have their own separate farewell for him anyways? I'm absolutely sure I read that somewhere, and pretty well ALL the players turned up apart from Foran and a couple others.

I'm sure they showed him that respect.

I didn't take many photos and the venue was dark so plenty that I did take didn't turn out well lol.

The retribution from ZtH for some perceived slight by a 28 year Club legend in 2v, would have warned all current Players away. 😡

BJ must be on the move himself😎

Fishing sounds like a welcome change for 2v

Gives us a little peek though so thanks.
As for Tooves, I just love the legend and will always think of him as what it means to be Manly.

Your right . I read an article that the players and Toovey had their private farewell . Toovey does not have to prove anything to anyone .He has stamped him self as one of the greatest Sea eagles ever in his own right

Thanks Mals

It was a good night and it was great to be able to give him the send off he deserves. It was cracking me up how Tooves kept grabbing the mike to get his two cents worth in. One of his main messages was that we (as in all Manly fans) need to look after each other.

Cement Gillespie was also there and looking pretty fit.
