Good bye, Master Baker. Sad indeed.
On Packer . . . did you know that after he collapsed with a heart attack and one of very few then Sydney ambulances armed with a defibriulator brought him back, he went out and bought as many defibs as the ambulance service needed? The ambulance drivers called them “Packer whackers.”
During that heart attack his heart stopped for around seven minutes. Afterwards he reportedly boasted: “I’ve been to the other side. And let me tell you son, there’s fucking nothing there.”
Brian Morse. Rest in pieces.
