Geoffrey Edelsten and the Sydney Swans - Sports Bizarre

In July 1985, it was announced that Geoffrey Edelsten had purchased the Sydney Swans, the first private owner of a VFL side.

What followed were cheerleaders, Warrick Capper, a liaison with Hitman Mr Rent-a-Kill, Christopher Dale Flannery and possibly a pink helicopter.

In AFL Grand Final week, Mick and Titus remember one of the early episodes as the AFL pushed North.

Titus is touring the country. Tickets are on sale now.
