--------------------------------------THE SAINT pre-operation
----------------------------------

The Saint also had a stint in hospital. He had to have a hip replaced. They gave him enough anesthetic to knock out a horse and then opened the big bastard up.

They searched around for half an hour in the vicinity of the hip looking for anything that looked vaguely like bone but any that had been in residence had long been worn away or atrophied.

Finally they gave up, cut down the leg until they could find something that looked like bone and bolted the new titanium number to it. The Saint was on the green within a week bowling with the new Kelvin Kerkow bowling crutch and a week after that tossed it aside in scenes not dissimilar to the Jana Pitman resurrection.

He needed to take a lot of drugs after the operation and they appear to have had an adverse affect on the big guy.



The Saint post operation

After too many years running around the footy oval lugging the 110 kg, and two years carrying “Tom the Bomb” Williams, the only bone of any significance left in his body, according to his Missus, is the one that is coiled up in the Y fronts.

The Saint discusses shot selection with his team during pre season, post operation practice.

---------------------------------------NORMY SUTTON
----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------The Tobacco Factory

Nervous Normy Sutton got his name because he gets a bit jumpy at times. Normy gets a bit jumpy not because he plays with the Krackerjack, although that certainly doesn’t help, but because he smokes. That’s right because he smokes. And he doesn’t peel them off with any great care but goes through them like smarties at a kid’s birthday party.

He’s nervousness however derives from the fact that Normy’s missus does not know he smokes. So every opportunity he gets he sneaks off to the Club for some practice, which essentially means an excuse for having a fag between each delivery. He then tries to disguise the smell by drinking a lot of piss before gargling with a litre of diesel prior to going home.

Normy and some of his favourite breath freshener.



Off season, just like the Beekeeper, he went to Europe with the wife on a 28 day guided bus tour. Snookered for most of the time, he had no cigarettes for 28 days but advised he had a sex every day, a couple of them surprisingly with the wife.

Since he has been back he reckons he’s had two decks of smokes a day and has not bothered to use the big pan handle even once.
