    Helmet Heads

    Test your memories. Which players can you recall wearing a helmet in a match?

    Just a few:

    Chris Grant, Micheal McKenna, Justin Madden, Phil Narkle, Nathan Burke & John Hutton.

    Did Chris Hansen wear one?
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Jason Dunstall wore that thing that held his brain in while he played for a while.

    Gray Wilson! All time great, also think that another bloke at Fitzroy at the time was Chris Hanson, but why does the name Leigh Murnane jump out at me?

    With a beard, he looked dog ugly in that thing.

    That's strange. A helmet covering most of my head improves my looks.

    IIRC Richard Osborne wore a helmet for a while after that head collision he had playing for Sydney, does anyone else remember the Ambulance driving onto the SCG?

    Chris Smith wore a helmet for Fitzroy back in the early 80's. He almost won the 1980 Brownlow and wasn't even invited to the count.

    Anyone have any special Mick McKenna memories they want to share?

    I'm sure I've read somewhere about a poor umpiring decision involving him, just can't quite remember what it was.
