I’ve met Paul Harragon, he’s so lovely! He was shopping at Big W with his wife Pam on the Sunny Coast back in 2022 where I work. I even got a photo with him
My family and I were doing our weekly shop in Woolies at Tuggerah back in 2001 and a big framed man pushed his trolley around the corner. It was Chief! I said hello, I'm a huge fan of the Knights and it was crazy seeing you in our local Woolies. He said "Haha I gotta eat food don't I?" and he reached over and opened a pack of Tim Tams and took one out and ate it and winked at the same time. I was aghast and he saw the look on my face so he went back and pinched another one out and forced it on me. "Now we're blood brothers haha" he said, I will never forget that day. When I retell the story at family functions my wife just shakes her head and say "that never happened, jesus christ..."
He gets a spot in the back row alongside Paul Sironen in my all-time greatest ever NSW State of Origin team. One of the most fiercely passionate forwards to ever don the Newcastle Knights, Country Origin, and NSW Origin jersey. Well done, Chief, you've been a huge inspiration.👏🏽
I was the local league liaison officer, and was lucky to spend time with the team, also witness to the great egg and lettuce sandwich in the face , from Mal Reilly, the bus was parked next to a car and Mal was discarding unwanted sandwiches back handed and hit a women smack in the face as she was getting to her car@@Knightvision1981
Loved watching the Chief and all the lads back in that era: when Men played and sorted out the on field niggle. Today’s era has great footy but not the characters of the past.
Cast a shadow out or respect and inspiration. Nothing better than your peers (own team and opposition) recognising that you were a special player. The other MOST important thing. Have you ever seen or heard ANYBODY say a bad thing about Paul? CHIEF by nature, hence CHIEF by name.
im not a knights fan i been watching league for over 50 years the chef is one of the best props i have ever seen man they dont make props like this no more , god bless you paul ✝,

Very few athletes remain the face of their sponsor 25 years after they retire
Your a bloody legend chief
Hard as they come Chief!
He was an absouloute bloody legend loved watching him play
The Chief is a True Legend
A great man
Got his shorts and socks from the game at Adelaide Oval v St George, my lad was the ball boy and Chief gifted them to him
1995 was the year. Chris Joynt scored on debut for the knights.

He was the driving force of the Arl when Super League tried to take over

Damn I never realised that chief and Alfie retired within 2 weeks of each other.
Did the chief retire first or did Alfie retire first?
Langer returned in 2002.
@@brodiemillers5211Alfie retired first.
@@stupendous1068yes he did. That doesn’t change that he retired in 1999 though.
@@Giveme1goodreason But he still returned in 2002.
