NormOn the Ground and in the Air
Few people can cover the opposite ends of a pole with equal aplomb. Jezza was such a man. Equally adept below his knees as he was above his head, Jezza was capable of controlling the ball on the ground without taking posession, and taking posession overhead without ever seeming to be in total control. Granted, Jezza wielded a vice that squeezed an aerial animal skin to death, but only when his feet were well set. Able on his right foot he was less so on his left. Marginally. Blind snapshots from a mile away could only ever be taken successfully by those with inner eyes for the game. Jezza had inward visioners of such an ilk. Athletic precision to see his visions realised he performed in an unusual piece of machinery. Not overly quick in running upright, he could run while crouched over a stitched ovoid that was matched by his aerial activities. Actions that were enacted by a huge languid spring that he kept in his shorts until the bladdered egg was flying. His prowess was enough to make a sad man gay. Athletic windows are narrow openings in an otherwise oppressive wall. Athletes use their bodies like an explorer uses a compass. Like everything, the body is made up of two opposite halves. Jezza on the ground and Jezza in the air: equal.

"Did he hear the thundering footsteps
On that fateful day?
When he looked up at that Sherrin
Did he know he'd have no say?
As Jezza rose to fame & glory
In one almighty leap
And he was left to be forgotton
In a crumpled heap.
It's Jerka
It's Jerka
Jerka Jennnnnnnkins."

David, and after that mark he just went straight back and kicked to position, a long high drop punt.
I've seen him a couple of times and to my disgrace I yelled "Jezza" at him as we passed in our car, head down he ignored me. Saw him again and I said naught.
So much respect for that man.
Dusk, I'm trying to think of the ruggers equivalent, maybe a campo with skill and humility? Of course I jest because i'm a rugby illiterate.
Joe, Jezza had the grace and courage to admit his fault in that incident.
Jezza and Geoffrey Chaucer: equal!
Daa da daa da daaa,
