GARY HART'S testimonial dinner is on Saturday night. It's at the Brighton Metropole — all our functions and parties seem to be there — but one day I'd like to attend something at the Grand Hotel.
Whenever I drive past the Grand it looks spectacular and it always impresses me. With the team, I always like visiting those old English hotels with the high ceilings.
There'll be about 300 people at Gary's do, all the players have to attend — rightly so, I'd say — and it will be black tie, so it will be interesting to see what footballers class as that.
Aussies are generally regarded as being laid back in their formal dress, but I'm going to be looking sharp for Gary Hart's night.
- I will be out of contract after Saturday. I think there's about 12 of us senior players who are. The talk is they are being finalised Tuesday or Wednesday next week. So I won't know until then whether they'll keep me on.
