A strange thing happened at work today. An ex workmate who lives 50km away rang me and wanted me to go up the street and give a bloke he knows $50, he’d left his wallet home and was parked outside Cheap as Chips. I said no worries, who is it? He said Robbie Muir. I said, yeah, sure mate good one, who is it really? He said Robbie Muir. I said the St Kilda footballer? Yep he said, anyway long story short I went up gave him the fiddy, had a chat for a while. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but he was a really nice, genuine bloke. Looking a lot older, heavier and a big grey beard. My ex workmate is involved at the Church where he lives not far from where i work and live and has helped Robbie out a fair bit over the years. I thought about asking for a photo but was a bit hesitant so didn’t. He must do a bit of footy umpiring because he asked me if they needed an umpire around the place.
A very different work morning for me!
