Rod
Reddy discussing how he, Steve
Rogers and Craig
Young disposed of their car on the last day of
the 1982 tour. - From Tony Adams Book, The
Hitmen.
Many Kangaroo players have bought old cars on tour, and Reddy,
Steve Rogers and Craig Young had a bomb on their hands in 1982.
At the end of the tour, they had to decide what to do with the
vehicle.
"The car had just about had it. It was in such a state
the hotel management wouldn't let us park out the front of the
hotel. We had to leave it out the back as they reckoned it gave
the place a bad name. The day before we left we tipped it into
the canal behind the hotel. As it started to go down, the water
pressure must have forced the brake pedal down because the back
lights came on. As it started sailing down the canal, and as
we ran off, we yelled out: There's someone drowning in that
car."
I think (Australian Prop) Donny Mckinnon got the blame for that
one.
