Found a classic interview with former Sharkie Les Davidson, by Dogs legend Paul Langmack on the Yesterday's Heroes website. Enjoy!
Les Davidson
Here's his intro to his interview with Les "Bundy" Davidson, which recounts the occasion when he KO'd Stevo (playing for St George at the time)...those were the days!

Les Davidson is one of the hardest men ever to play rugby league.
Les had the respect of everyone he played against. When you played against him you were always looking out for him before you ran the ball.
He was a punishing defender just like Dave Gillespie. He would hit you on your blind side which was lethal under the five metre rule.
He would've fitted in well with the Bulldogs of the eighties.
Whilst playing for the Sharks against the Dragons Davo knocked out three Dragons players by only throwing three punches.
Les was tackling Brad Mackay and Brad was pushing and kicking went he was trying to get up to play the ball. St George Hooker Wayne "Snoopy" Collins was pushing and shoving Les whilst Les was trying to get off Brad. So bet it Les threw a short left and knocked Snoopy clean out.
Brad came into the fracas as any player would and Les dropped him cold as spud. Both players lay unconscious on the ground.
The referee Bill Harrigan cautioned Davo and said you did what you had to do and Les escaped with a caution whilst the two Dragons players were carried of on stretchers.
25 minutes later the Sharks were attacking the line and Les ran through the line as a dummy runner and ran into Dragons prop Jason Stevens.
Stevo elbowed Les in the head. (Very Bad Move)
Davo immediately threw a left hook and hit Stevo on the chin. Stevo's eyes were spinning like pokie machine reels and he was snoring before he hit the ground.
Davo looked at Bill Harrigan and just in a calm voice said "I know the story" and he ran straight to the sheds being sent off.
Wouldn't we love to bring the five metre rule and the real hard men of footy?
