Great photo Fletch and very sad news.

Was interesting hearing Tim Watson talk about Merv's volitility on and off the ground. Some very funny stories including being pissed off with Sheeds at training one night and the team going into the room to see Sheed's locker kicked in and its belongings thrown around the room. Next day it was business as usuall and full respect between player and coach. How times change.

He was a very smooth player to watch, sad indeed.
