Love the North Harbour stadium. Watched a number of Harbour games there and chiefs vs blues games, all blacks games and an ANZAC clash of the kiwis against the Aussies.
Used to live a short walk from it too so that definitely helped in my mid 20s haha.
Mate, chances are I probably ran into you at Devonport at some stage haha. What was the pub on the corner that all the navy lads went to? Forget the name of it.
The Esplanade? Patriot? Been a while to be fair (early 2000S), but all the pubs on the road down to the ferry were full of us.
One place used to do a drink called 'a flaming lamborghini' with a one drink limit haha (Ronrico/Bacardi 151 was in it).
Well other than the junior rates wets the ferry had dirt cheap steinlagers so used to smash them on the way over to the city too haha
Great stadium it is, first visit as a reward in basic training we went to the ground and got drunk behind the commentators box
Problem is it's clear glass and they could see all the uniforms in the background so got our asses kicked for 2 weeks after that cos it was on the big screen and all over the tv haha
Probably did cross paths, enjoyed my couple years there as a young 17 year old when I joined
Even got to mark an old michael jones (Iceman) after he had retired but still played in the local north shore comp (One of my favourite players)
Wish you could swap jerseys or something but just being on the same field regardless of his age will probably be my lifetime highlight
Anyways back to the Fantasy talk, couple hours to go
