UPDATE
2016: Heroes, Anti-Heroes, Football, Music and Movies
Here is the kicker (so to speak), the team I support and have been a life member of since the 80's in the NRL are the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks who at one time bought the rights to the Bowie song 'Heroes'.
"At the height of Super League, the Sharks bought the song rights to play David Bowie’s hit: “We Can Be Heroes’’.
Gow adds: “I would love that song to be played again, because it was very appropriate for the Sharks."
I've been a follower of the Seahawks since the late 80s, when my ex-brother-in-law who was living in Vancouver for six months bought me home a Seatle Seahawks jumper.
I didn't even think they were a real team when he gave me the jumper, but I read up about the team and found out they were a real underdog team like my Sharks, so I adopted them as my team and until recently thought both teams would never win a final trophy in my lifetime.
But the Seahawks won their first one in 2014 and the Year Bowie passed away (2016) was the year the Sharks won their first ever NRL grand final.
One day is all it takes to be heroes, as Bowie would say:-)
