Re: AFL Player Encounters
In my immediate past life as a police officer I had reason to meet numerous sportsmen, most of them i found to be great (even those who i booked). Most are confident, young and nice guys, i really liked meeting Wakelin from Collingwood at a train station one day. As far as specifics go, I had reason to book Cam White, Andrew Bogut and Garry Lyon (prick). Met David Schwartz (top bloke) and many, many others at the races too (seems AFL players are obliged under their contracts to attend the marquees . ). On the flip side I regret not arresting a drunken Fevola and his mates at the local footy (about ten years ago), who then where alleged to have assaulted a man later that night. He just didn't quite meet the threshold... One of the biggest knobs I have ever met!
