I was caned several times for fighting on the footie park, most times with bared butt just out of the shower, the pe masters did like to cane at that point as it did hurt more when you were wet and all hot and bothered after a hard game. My final caning was in 1983 at the end of term when we were competing in the inter-school footie final. We lost that game and I had a bust-up with their coach and 2 of their players.I was held back and not allowed to shower and change. The rest of the lads were gone, and I was ordered into the gym still in the shiny footie kit.
