Hosie was getting chased by hostile crowds quite often.
There were referee strikes in Adelaide in the 50s and 60s, as they got sick of being screamed at and abused. Ex players and federation officials would have to step in and referee at the last minute.
The notorious player Eddie Virba was suspended sine die at least three times for attacking refs.
Those were the days!
