Richard Stobo - Richard Stobo - Memories of that Grand Old Stand – Part 1

The Trumper Pavilion holds great memories for me, including my first game in First Grade in November 1983, against North Sydney. I had turned 18 only a few months before and found myself for the first time in the same changing room as such great Gordon players as Trevor Chappell, Phil Antman, Michael Falk and Rowan McGregor, among others.

I distinctly recall the atmosphere of that day; it was clear as soon as I walked through the gates behind the stand that First Grade was different. I had been fortunate to play in Wacka’s Third Grade premiership side the previous season and understood the pressure of finals. However, there was something very grown-up about First Grade.
