MEGADOME
A celebratory World Cup soccer gallery from the Bulletin:
That’s super-styled Ulysses Kokkinos, who played for South Melbourne Hellas in the 1970s. Had it going on, didn’t he? More soccer images here.
Looks like Tom Jones with a ‘fro wig.

Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 06 09 at 02:37 PM • permalinkOh sure, as if any of you don’t have a few pictures from the Seventies or Eighties you’ve buried in the back yard.
Let’s nip this in the bud right now before it degenerates into a “Show us a picture of your hair style from the Seventies”. I for one will never let anyone see my blond afro. My attempt to look like an Ohio version of Christopher Atkins was, shall we say, less than successful.

“The Diegos believe one controversial exclusion from the team was the Greek soccer playing God, who in the 70’s starred on the pitch, on the disco floors and with the women - of course we’re talking about the great Ulysses Kokkinos.
This guy was a cross between George Best, Paolo Di Canio and Paul Gascoigne and had the best head of hair since Vinny Cattogio but still didn’t get nominated. “
Happy times.
Whoops you get the good with the bad. Say it aint so Ulysses!!!!
“Convicted cocaine Trafficker Ulysses Kokkinos has lost his supreme court appeal to have his minimum three year jail sentence reduced.”
I suppose this explains the hair do - there was about 2kgs of coke in it. However it could of course be another fellow with the same name - I hope so.
Very off topic: Margo’s officially out of the closet
Posted by Oafish and Infantile on 2006 06 09 at 07:17 PM • permalinkGet a load of who arrested the cocaine trafficker Ulysses Kokkinos. Alex Baldwin, or as he’s known in North Korea, Aric Bawin.

#23 - Is there anything the Baldwin clan cannot do? Acting (well attempted acting), boffing Kim Bassinger, political activism (note Alex still lives in Amerikka despite his pledge hmmm) and now arresting affroed drug dealers. I will sleep easier in my flat in St Kilda knowing that he is out there prowling the streets.
Can I take the opportunity to thank SBS for their brilliant coverage of the World Cup.
Great for insomniacs and the sleep deprived disordered amongst us.
Australians will watch any sport but not necessarily at ungodly hours of the morning.
Fell asleep during some Bavarians prancing around like pounces last night, so missed both ensuing games. Last World Cup found it difficult to keep my eyes open during rivetting 0-0 draws at 2.00am as it was.Things haven’t changed much, notwithstanding the advent of cable and continuous 24 hour replaying of major sporting events (I think my Fox Footy Channel replays each AFL game at least 10 times ad nauseum).
So what replays do we get out of World Cup. One game out of three selected by SBS by some unfathomable criteria, and played during peak hour news time. Exceeded in time coverage by reams of boring talking heads and untold minuteae of how some forgotten German city has an excellent toy train exhibition. Today’s replay is an example- an upset is forgone in favour of a predictable major’s win! Wow! Rivetting stuff!!!!
Refereed this game for 20 years. Refuse to watch it unless compelled. Prefer AFL and Union this year has picked up its bootstraps. Attended all Qld Roar Home games as well as Qld Reds and Broncos (work!) and am amazed when the soccer affionados regard 8,000 as a “good crowd.”
Must may been a giant leap forward for the recidivists to hand next season’s Aust soccer to Foxtel sports- has someone actually cottoned on to the fact that replaying games 10 times to fill 24 hour programming voids actually has the effect of increasing exposure? Wow! Penny dropped!
Meanwhile who takes responsibility for handing World Cup coverage exclusively to the Losers at SBS? Even for $10 programming rights, I would have given it to Foxtel Sports and told them to flog each game remorsely.
I wanted to call my last kid Ulysses. Powerful name.
Unfortunately, as Mrs Entropy crapped on about ‘the fact that no child that she had to go through the pain of delivering would be called “Ulyssess” ’ (I think she actually used the scare quote signs at the time), I had to give up a cherished dream.That and we had a girl.
Oafish and Infantile — Yes, but is she interested in men or women?
And what ungodly, New-Jersey-riverwater combination of gels, sprays and shellac do you need to make even vaguely Caucasian hair do something like that?
