Why the Sydney Roosters should be thanking Bryan Fletcher and The Footy Show
@Source: theage.com.au
“Max watched ‘Fletch’ one night advertising for players to join the Colts, and he turned to me and said, ‘Dad, can I do that?’,” said McCathie’s father, Hamish.
“He would have been 10 or 11. He played all his junior footy with [Paddington], and came through every age group at the Roosters.”
When told he had helped inspire McCathie to take up rugby league, Fletcher laughed and said: “Beauty, I might take some of his match payments. Better still, I might have to see one of the local SP [starting price] bookies at one of the pubs and have something on Max to score.
“It’s great to know the club has kicked on since it started back up. I’ve got friends for life at that club, and I’m sure it will be the same for Max.
