It is. I can imagine him living under a snow drift somewhere in London.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Could be a red letter weekend for the eker movement with Daniel Currie playing his first game for GC this weekend and Sam Grimley on the extended bench for the Bombers.

Cripes, have to google Mr Grimley. No idea who he is.

Re: Ekers
His first game and this must be his third year on the list? Not including the years he was dropped entirely from the list before being redrafted.
Outstanding.

Re: Ekers
Great story. I know he was not much chop for us but I loved some of his efforts in late 2009.
Clearly he is in good form to be getting a game for GWS right now.

As a youngster he was a powerful mover
He showed a bit with us early, and then developed type 1 diabetes, and multiple? shoulder reconstructions

Yep, multiple shoulder recos and a lengthy bout of OP didn't give him any continuity during his time with us

Re: Ekers
I rated him when he first started for us. Absolute beast at the contest. Injuries ruined his time with us.
