Jacko and Harrison i believe. The idle rich tuning their rifles ready for Narromine in 2025 or 6. Andrews will keep you Vics in lockdown forever.

Yes a top bloke who would literally give you the shirt off his back.

Lots of good memories of Jacko .. funny stories and mad adventures ... from him turning up at Majura for the Federal Cup without his rifle bolt then driving all night to get it and be back for the match. To him having a rifle failure, again at Majura and leaking toxic anti freeze all over the bench line.

We all used to sit and wait for him to blow himself up but we all used to watch him

Great red about a top bloke. I would to see you write the story though Jacko, that would be an entertaining read.

Jacko is as mad about golf as i am. He was at the driving range the other night when i phoned and this is the first thing i thought of.

Whenever you have an hour or more to spare, ask Jacko about the the life and times he spent over many years at the mighty motel majura !!

Or, as rinso mentioned, sleeping on the tables whilst a large rat was running around the floor during the night.

on another occasion Jacko was in Canberra again without a bolt, but thankfully due his friends, the bolt was air freighted down over night from brisbane.
