    Was Arch Brown the famous "Barefooted Kicker" for the Parramatta Eels. (Round about the 1960's or so on.) Can not find any history on it but i would like to know. Please solve this mystery for me

    i saw arch brown play and he rarely got the ball as parra relied on forwards very fast and competitive with dave irvine on the other wing two of the fastest backs who hardly had a decent centre inside them.

    I remember Arch Brown and Eric Simms from South Sydney Rabbitohs having kicking duels from end to end of the field
