Let's just say that the 50 has come and gone.



They were tough old (or young) bastards back then. I looked Jim Miller up on Trove the site with the old newspapers. There is one that talksd about Miller getting kicked in the face so hard in a game against Richmond in 1945 that he swallowed half his dentures!

Haha. Why on earth would you play with dentures in? Was it because he liked to look his best or was it in case he felt the need to bite someone?

Not a good sign when your in your 20-30s and already got dentures.

In those days it was very common for young people to have dentures. Don't ask me why but I do know it was common.

Coming through the depression and the war, i'm not sure that everyone had toothbrushes. As for visits to the dentist....

Back in the day it cost real money to keep your natural teeth. Everyone kind of accepted that you would loose them sooner or later, so why not get it over with. It was also before the days of fluoride in the water supply system, so decay was rife.

Possibly bite that bastard who kicked you in the face!
