Alex 34846 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I saw him at South Gosforth once when he was a Falcons player. An intimidating presence in the flesh to say the least. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 32728 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Used to work with a bloke who looked like Hitler and was fucking mental, everyone apparently knew him, he was called Shaun. One day we saw him at work and we said that Tuigamala looks a unit as we knew he sometimes used to watch the falcons. It must've been his debut and he'd been there two minutes really. Shaun said he reached across where the tunnel was, tapped him on the shoulder and gave him the self titled best worker in the north east's seal of approval by saying, 'Well done Inga, lad' to which, according to Shaun he replied instantly, 'I'm still jetlagged, Shaun, I can do better than that', proving that everybody did indeed know him. There was a similar tale involving Shearer after his two goals in the San Siro. Reckoned he congratulated big Al to which Shearer apparently said, 'I just try my best, Shaun.' I know this will mean Jack Shit to you all but he was the toucher's toucher who used to unintentionally have you in stitches and I can't think of poor Tuigamala without thinking of 'Super' Shaun as he was known at work. RIP Inga, lad, no doubt Super will raise a glass to you tonight. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and cousin Doug were part of the Australian team you could actually be proud of, unlike the current bunch of cheating cunts.

TBH I've not given a fuck about cricket since that lot, Marsh, Walters, Lillee, Thommo, etc retired from cricket as it's been nothing but a series of absolute twat since. Those that followed have never been anywhere near as good as that Australian team and that's why they've sledged/cheated their way ever since - with Chappell's decision in 1981 the start of it all. Marsh actually challenged him on the ground and protested against it, so fair play to Marshy. Edited March 4, 2022 by sammynb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
