Billy Birmingham said, "I dedicated Willy Nilly to Tony Greig because out of all the commentators, he got the 12th Man better than anyone. We did a couple of gigs together and it was funny standing shoulder to shoulder while I am taking the piss out of his voice. He knew the success of the 12th Man had done nothing to harm Channel 9's coverage or their reputation."[1]
