Next week – Game I | State of Origin!
The game, the haircuts and the footy shorts have come a long way since NSW played Queensland for the very first time in 1980; and this year we’ll see the Maroons line up for a fourth consecutive year to maintain the shield.
State of Origin I
When: Wednesday, 3rd June 2009
Time: 8pm
Where: Telstra Dome Melbourne, VIC (or a pub near you!)
Tickets can be purchased through TICKETMASTER.
Also, you know how we mentioned that the haircuts and the footy shorts have come a long way, check out this photo from the first State of Origin, circa 1980. Geez, Mal and Wally were strapping young blokes weren’t they? Check out the shorts!!!
Pictured below: Big Mal, Wally (the King!) and Choppy Close. Don’t know who the other dude is as we couldn’t be bothered researching…
