Trevor Barker soaring high over South's captain, John Rintoull. He seemed to jump too early....but he just hung in the air. Behind me Lou Richards and Jack Dyer commentating the match yelled in unison (these were the days when TV commentators braved the elements under tarps). He took the mark of the year.
The South supporters rose to their feet joining in the applause of the Saints fans. It was magnificent. A glory in my minds eye forever. We lost but even the Swans supporters as we left the ground were calling out to us, "What about that mark".
In those lean years of "honourable" defeats, that blonde marvel soaring in the winter sunlight remains a wonderful memory. He died tragically far too young. Trev.....you were my hero....you still are..Go the mighty Saints.
