Speaker 1: Jum Vision with Jones.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: And Amanda watching the news last night, sad to hear

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: about Johnny Raper passing away eighty two years of age,

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: dementia finally claimed him.

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 3: Now you're a footy fan from the early days. I

6
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 3: didn't grow up in a league family. We didn't watch

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 3: football really when I grew up. But I knew him

8
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 3: from the telly and I knew his name and I

9
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: knew him, but I didn't know his football history.

10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Football history was amazing, and he was of an era

11
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: where you could go out on the booze all night

12
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: before and then you'd run out on the field.

13
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: You put your cigarette out of your pie as you

14
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: made your way out, exactly.

15
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: But he was a real character, as a real Alarican.

16
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: I went to school with his son, Kurt, where at

17
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: school together, and he was a lovely guy. I met Johnny,

18
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't know him that well, but I

19
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: met him a couple of times. He was a real Laric.

20
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: He's a character character, a real character, and it was

21
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: a time of rugby league where it was exactly that,

22
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: like he'd go out on the we have a big

23
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: night on the booze and then he'd come home sleep

24
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: in the car as to not wake up his wife

25
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: and then go for a five mile run and then

26
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: go and run on the field Georgia and invariably win

27
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 2: the game.

28
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: Well, it was just brawn, wasn't it. They didn't have

29
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: the nutritionists, they didn't have the sports psychologists, they didn't

30
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: have the telemetry packs that they were. It was just

31
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: turn up and be fit and do your best.

32
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,200

Speaker 2: to play football the next time black arm and that

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: was I guess it was just it was of a time.

36
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: But he I knew him from the Telly because it

37
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 3: was a series of ads and.

38
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: He became one of the first league celebrities. And if

39
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: anyone over our age would know this ad for Jack's tires, Jack,

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: there's a flashback and.

41
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Put the.

42
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: Jac Well, there was a famous story that he ran

00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: naked down the streets in London on tour in a

44
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: bowler hat, completely naked.

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,080

47
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: hat over his area and that was all he was wearing. Yeah,

48
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: But the thing was that it wasn't actually him that

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: actually did it. He let it. He let the myth

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: just perpetuate. People thought it was him, but it wasn't him.

51
