About me
Hi there! My name is Stuart Horton and I am 15 years old. I live in Manurah, Western Australia. I am a sports freak and I love listening to music. I like cricket, Aussie Rules and soccer. My favourite Aussie Rules team is the Essendon Bombers and my favourite player is James Hird. This page is a page for the Bombers fan including history, players and scores for the 1998 season. Enjoy!
