The Weird Place 8 Year Old Joey Montagna Met His Idol Damian Monkhorst

“Excuse me Monkey, can I please get your autograph”

As round 15 is footy’s retro round, Brendan Fevola and Joey Montagna reminisced on the Footy Talk podcast about the golden moments of footy’s past, and the times they got to meet their footy idols!

Fev was a big Saints fan as a kid and spoke about how he’d sell pizzas at Waverley Park to get close to the action. Joey one upped him with an epic story about meeting the enormous 1990 premiership player Damian Monkhorst!

Joey and Fev also spoke about the time Fev went head to head with Buddy in the 2008 century shootout, and how Fev got his nickname “The Croc” from Juddy!
