As part of the ongoing Birthday celebrations at Beer and Sport, I’ve treated myself to a few presents.
Firstly there’s the shiny new domain: www.beerandsport.net . If you get a chance please update your links 
Next, I put together a banner for the site which showcases many of my personal sporting heroes, in carefully selected shots that show them in a manner that I like to remember.
Richie Benaud for me is a commentating hero, and while he did a lot with the bat and ball in the 50′s, for me he’s a hero as a commentator. Darryl Hair makes an appearance as I’ve always respected his integrity and stuborness as great qualities for an umpire to possess. There’s even a Queenslander in John Eales, and a great NSW Rugby Player Chris Latham who unfortunately spent much of his career in exile.
Roy and HG are a huge influence and just had to make an appearence on the banner of fame.
And thanks to Warney and his 3 foot inflateable googly, according to Gagger, I “might have the only sports blog with a famous sportsmans erection on it?”. What a claim to fame that is!
and I got me a favicon, mmm beer
is mcgrath giving thumps up to a supermassive piece of meat or do my eyes deceive ?
your eyes are pretty close… that’s the 3ft inflatable that Warney took along to his threesome with the models, though McGrath’s thumb’s up is more to congratulate Warney on the menage trois
Where’s Robbie Deans?
hasn’t done anything yet, apart from rob me of a Super 14 !
if he wins us the 2011 world cup he can go up, it’s not an easy banner to make it onto
