Similarly, my password derives from my footballing past - 'Spoons Over Bar'. It's not as catchy as 'Bullet', but probably more accurate.

I played in goal for Coundon Grange (Auckland Jnr Lge, circa 1967) and one day, I did as all goalkeepers do, fancied myself up front. We stuffed Sherburn YC 7-0 and I slammed home 4 (yes four) goals despite being tackled on my way to the 4th by my own cousin and fellow inside forward (remember them?). The nickname was more sarcastic than accurate. And stuck. So thank you to the real Bullet Mulhall who can now access some of my private areas, so to speak. I am now going to have to use another password. I’m grateful? to George for my old nickname of Bullet which now serves as my password to so many things (please don’t tell anyone).

Loved him as a player. Loved him enough to forgive him for saying "Piss off" when I asked for his autograph in 1963. I told my heart-broken 12 year old self that he'd probably had a bad day. It was that early '60s era that hooked me. Nice to see George looking fit and well. Loved him as a player.
