He wrote the introduction to one of the Encyclopaedia of League Footballers and says he'd like to see one more entry:
'Sheahan, Michael, Foots-Melb, 1967-80 250 games, 116 goals.
So he'd have been happy to start with us but would have been out the door, probably at the first opportunity. If I'd been Bernie Lee and the other player I'd have left him at the gate in 1961. Loyalty comes at a price!
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers
Mike Sheahan delivered the Eulogy at Bernie Lee’s wife’s funeral in recent years. He also remains one of 5 WB Hall of Fame selectors so still retains close relations with our Club.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers
We've had some very good footballers wear the #18. Simon Beasley is the standout followed by Leon Cameron. Any dissenters? Speak up now or forever hold your peace!
Best #19?

Nope. Beasley kicked Huge bags of goals. Leon was good but Beazer was a force of nature.
The Pieman is the player you'd want having a shot at goal from 40-50 metres out to save your life.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Shaggy would be a problem at the Yarramatta nets. Just ask Heath Black.

Nobody, but his name is Hargrave.
I don't know why that one triggers me.

He's one guy that I wouldn't want any trouble with. Ryan Hargrave threw a punch with balance and timing better than most.

I happened to see Chook at Marvel yesterday and had a yack with him about the old days at Totty Tech. He was a couple of years ahead of me. Great bloke. Grew up in Braybrook, played cricket for Druids and footy for Braybrook and was a damn good player for us and a good recruiting officer too.
