Beer and Sport Legends

October 28th, 2008 by Moses Leave a reply »

By now you’ve no doubt seen the shít-hot banner that adorns the header of Beer and Sport. No-one got onto this banner by accident, nor is their pose chosen at random.

My mission that I’ve chosen to accept when there’s no cricket or rugby on is to blog on each member of the BnS Legends banner and explain my personal connection with each legend.

Most of them are obviously from New South Wales, since we’re the only state breeding the big names. Many others have some sort of tenuous connection to the premier state, such that I’ve claimed them for the good ship NSW.

There is one and only one exception per state or territory, ever. I’m currently seeking applications from SA, the NT and the ACT.

I’ll be building an image-map on the banner, so you can click any of the heads and go straight to the blog post on that legend. Could take a while.

    As much as you’d like to claim him Mo, Boony is as Tasmanian as Huon Pine and loggers smashing cars with sledgehammers! All the same, he deserves pride of place smack centre in what is the best banner on the ‘net.

    So far we’ve got

    • John Eales (Queensland)
    • David Boon (Tasmania)
    • Shane Warne (Victoria)
    • Michael Hussey (Western Australia)
    • Hot chick in Leederhosen (Bavaria)

    Currently seeking applications from South Australia and the Territories..
