Quoted from OddShapedBalls
Whittle definitely had a look before sending his elbow out, but was clever enough to be looking the other way when the contact happened.  I remember being enraged that career 'hard man' Shearer was happy smashing arms across everyone else' but couldn't take it - at that point in his career he was clearly too used to getting special treatment


Here is the footage of the famous incident. It’s just a shame matches were played under water in those days.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

It's a brilliant piece of History. He was such a fabulous player Shearer and a brilliantly competitive attitude.

Quite funny that he openly talks about not fancying a ruck with Whittle as being when he knew it was time to retire.

Remember it happened right in front of me as I was on the temporary Green seats in the corner and it was obvious on the night that Whittle was just swinging his arms to help him jump, never a foul 😀😀
