06, April 10 The West Australian, Photo and story “Crawford brings back golden memories” The story has a photo attached of Michael Gardiner taking a screamer over the pack for Claremont.
In the article it says a Claremont player from the golden era of 1981 remarked on Saturday that spearhead David Crawford reminded him morethan a little bit of his team mate, Claremont super boot Warren Ralph. he’s got the complexion, the mannerisms and he has even got a bit of the same strut the player observed. Crawford even produced a stunning replica of Ralph’s impact by kicking 8 goals and many of these from hard up leads striaght up the middle of the ground as Claremont survived a hard match and won.
Crawford provided over half of Claremont’s goals plus the sealer in the last minute of the game. Prescott stated that it was in the third quarter where Crawford produced his most critical act when he ran straight in front of the pack disregarding the danger to knock the ball away.
