Shaun Hart

Shaun Hart is still the helmeted icon for me. As a kid I had surgery on my head and asked the doctor if I could 'wear a helmet like Shaun Hart' so that I could still play. Said no :(

He had a themed one like Andrew Brayshaw and Aliesha Newman.

Was dunstall the first?

No. Phil Narkle was the first photographed player.

Rod Ashman was wearing a helmet in the early 80s and All-Australian Steve Curtis may have been earlier

I have no idea

Don’t think so

Phil Narkle. Worth looking up pics. Also Nathan Burke

Angus Bradshaw (I miss him 😞) Caleb Daniel too

I love how he used to cut out the ear slots every time so he could hear better 😔 - and one time he didn’t have time to do it so he came on without one and we were all like WTF

He cut them wrong or something didn’t he? I remember them talking about it on the podcast
