Jamie Lyon & Matt Ballin - Life Members

[Ryan]

Couldn't think of two more worthy blokes. Being put forward at the 14th Annual Meeting 7.00pm 30th November at Brooky Oval. Two absolutely classy legends and individuals of our great club.

Good to see we are doing the right thing.

The I’s have have it!

Couldn’t be prouder.

[anthonyb1965]

I’m voting yes AND I’m a member are you?

Yep, one thing I did keep going was my Football Club Membership 😉

 

[BK13]

Yes Yes Yes!!!

2 of my all time favorites. Well Jamie is actually my all time favorite, and Matty Ballin is in my top 5.

But apart from that, 2 of the nicest most humble guys you could ever meet.

More of this please!

This is what being a football club member is all about. Having the chance to endorse both Killer and Matty B as life members is an absolute honor to be a part of.

The success the club enjoyed from 2006 - 2014 is very much down to the contributions of these two legendary players who were part of a group of players who bled for the club, had an amazing bond and played in grand final wins and were part of a team that made the semi finals every year.

Killer was a player who epitomised what Manly stand for, skillful, resilient, tough and he brought a calmness to the team through his leadership, to this day our team has badly missed that.

Matty B was an unsung player each team needs, great worker and kept our ruck tight, offered great service from dummy half. rarely injured until his last season and like Killer gave the team composure through his leadership and toughness.

November 30th is going to be a fantastic night to honor them, celebrate the Holden cup winning team triumph and celebrate the first-grade team making the finals.

I joined the footy club 3 years ago because I wanted to experience seeing our great players honored and be part of something that I have for over 40 years.

It would be so nice and refreshing if the Sea Eagles club could embrace the footy club and that we have a united and solid club moving forward.

After all, our goal is to see the Maroon and White be successful!!!

Hang on, Jamie is already a Life Member !!!???? Didn't Zorba and Penn bestow the honour on him a few seasons ago ?? Is he joining that very exclusive club with Kitey - Life member of the same club twice

Well deserved honour for both of them to get real Life Membership. Snake and Skivvi next year I hope.

The Penns and their crew made Killer, Snake and Stevie life members last year, the football club traditionally does this and its part of the contempt that the owners have shown the football club that they did this despite them!! Very sad really that we cant have everyone together!

 

[globaleagle]

I'm voting no.










lol, kidding!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yes I imagine Snake and Skivvy will go up next year, and yes this is the REAL Life Membership, the ones that have been going for over 70 years NOT the Micky Mouse variety handed out by Zorba and crew.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Well deserved. Both those guys contributed so much to the club.

 

[ALinda]

I actually had a tear (or 2) in my eye when I saw the email. Very much deserved

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I guess this thread is as good as anywhere.

These are signatures obtained by mother, maybe in 2009-2011. I was wondering if anyone can decipher them? I can see George Rose, Matt Ballin, Jamie Lyon and maybe Glen Hall, Adam Cuthbertson, Jason King.

Thank you @globaleagle - excellent sleuthing ✔️

You're definitely correct with the Rodney & Guluvao signatures

I think on the left side second signature down may be Will Hopoate.

I was thinking the same. So that's the two smartest silvertailers agreeing.
