editAnyone who suffers a ripped scrotum and doesn't retreat from society entirely for the rest of his life is okay in my book. Superking 04:24, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC) Buck is a legend.
Is it just me or does this article look remarkably similar (READ: exactly the same) as this page? Haunti 22:48, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
208.187.72.11: I'm not sure whether you deleted the contents of the talk page by mistake or if you wanted to cover something up, but either way: don't do it. Haunti 15:40, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Someone should mention how he brought pride to the Ka Mate haka.
No mention of his position.
Added position info and paragraph about the haka. --Sarfa 06:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
May I ask why you removed the biographical information (position, height, weight, etc.)? --Sarfa 22:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I just watched the 'Bring Back Buck' documentary on Maori TV http://www.maoritelevision.com/default.aspx?tabid=572&pid=8258 and Buck Shelford commented that he didn't know he had ripped his scrotum until after the game, which means that this sentence should be changed? 'Incredibly, after discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed' Wishdasher (talk) 07:12, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
So what was wrong with the way they did the haka before? What's right with it now? Simply saying it's "improved" is pretty much useless.AuntFlo (talk) 10:27, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
