A silver spooned porkchop from Sydney’s glittering Eastern Suburbs has bravely ventured west of Paddington today in the hope of acquiring himself a cute fit for the footy finals.
The Advocate can report Connor Keary-Walker (28) has Ubered to Newtown to visit some vintage fashion stores, a suburb he hasn’t frequented since dropping out of his Arts/Business degree at Sydney Uni several years ago.
Excited to cheer on his beloved ‘Easts’ this weekend, Connor told The Advocate he was keen to splash out on a cool retro jersey to wear around Bondi, given he wouldn’t dare venture past Coogee and actually attend a suburban stadium to watch the Roosters take on Cronulla.
“Yeah I wanted to go to the game but I couldn’t get tickets, it’s just so unfair they’re playing it down there!”
Connor whinged to our reporter, a blatant lie considering he only ever attends one Roosters game a year, and only when it’s at the SCG where he can get his porky little fingers on some prawn tacos in a corporate box.
“Plus I bet the food and beers at Shark Park suck, it’d just be chips and pies, yuck!”
Rolling into ‘Grandpa’s Closet’, a quirky vintage store that cashes in on the disposable funds of local Newtown arts brats who enjoy buying Y2K fit jeans and faded Von Dutch tees, Connor found himself up in the back racks thumbing through an assortment of 90’s NFL merch and a few NRL jerseys.
Having spent his life watching very little rugby league football, Connor had to do a bit of googling to make sure he was buying a jersey that made him look like a proper Roosters fan.
“Oh this one has ‘Western Union’ on the front, and ‘Fitzgibbon’ on the back? Was he a good player back in the day?” Connor asked our reporter.
“Sorry I didn’t play much footy growing up, Daddy used to take me out sailing instead.”
More to come.
