Captain Paul 'Fatty' Vautin was chaired from the field wearing this legendary 1987 premiership winning jersey.
Darrell Williams from Mt Albert RL played the field of dreams and is a Carlaw Park Dies Hards "Legend". Named one of the hardest tacklers in the game. With Mt Albert Lions he played fullback and you can get the inside tip from Super Cooper on what his nick name was at the Lions team on Carlaw Park TV when released. He played in the centres for the Sea Eagles' in the 1987 premiership final, and in doing so became the first Kiwi to play in an Australian grand final-winning team. |
