- The best ever, simple as that. Won us so many games through sheer will. He maxed out skill, toughness, leadership, courage, and mustache. Equal parts brutally mercurial and mercurially brutal. Barney to his teammates, Lethal to the rest.
At the Hawks 1969-1985.
It is with some considerable pride that I can say I attended quite a few of these matches. He is the best player I've seen...only Hudson comes close.
Me too!
The Greatest, toughest, scariest of them all. Win at all costs! Dished it out, but he never complained when he copped it. Twist, turn and baulk, it's another goal! Week in week out!
The strength, the poise, the balance, the agility....The pure footballing Genius.
915 goals as a rover/small forward. Let that sink in.
Best game he played had over 40 touches and 11 goals! Correct me if those numbers are slightly wrong but i no it was 40 plus and 9 to 11 goals! I'm 48 a hawk Gaza snr was the best I've seen! I was at 83 granny with dad and slightly remember barny but I remember Gaza snr! Gaza was Barney but over 6 foot so he had speed and height that barny did not! But both pure football geniuses! And tuff! I guess barny is the best ever because he did everything! What a freak he is was! Champion!! Wish Gaza stayed at hawk's they would of won 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 maybe more!! What a team that would of been!!!
@@mareewalker1096Apparently while he was coaching Brisbane, he was in a lift with some of his players and Justin Leppitsch asked Lethal if he'd ever had 40 possessions in a match ? He replied "no" and the players sniggered. After a small pause he continued, "but I did have 38 and kicked 11 once". The sniggers stopped. Later it was discovered that he did in fact have 40 possessions that day.
GOAT bar none
The GOAT. 'Nuff said.
If Lethal had played in the 89’ grand final, (yes I know he had retired) there’s no way Bruns & Hocking would’ve made it passed quarter time, they were shit scared of him.
Greatest Of All Time .
Love the commentary unlike today so crap
And no females as well.
@@michaelmarshall1713 Some of the Pommy & Sub-continental female cricket commentators are quite good.....shame we don't seem able to find or produce any decent one's in Oz.....Strained & strangulated twangs all over the shop.
@@alansimmonds9030 I do not want to hear a woman who has no history in the game telling me how the game is played . Over 100 Years of History Of It being mans game and now they have stolen from the men again . Women Ashes ???? Since When ?
@@michaelmarshall1713 Most of them seem to ply the role of special comments over there; & that's fair enough I reckon....there's always room for a feminine perspective on the game by those who have played it.
Talk about a He-Man!
The quality of today's commentors compared to Lou, Jack & co is sadly lacking....Lou also dubbed Barney 'Lethal Leigh'....He got that right.
You missed the best highlight of them all; when he shirtfronted Demetriou
Wow! What can you say.
None better
The Maradona of Aussie Rules
How dare you.....He's The Don Bradman of Aussie Rules.
No, Maradona is the Leigh Matthews of soccer
