Went on to be a key figure in the Roos’ most successful decade, with further premierships in 1963-64-68.
Is in the top 10 all-time QAFL games list with 279. Represented Queensland 15 times from 1962, won The Courier-Mail Media Award in 1965 and was mamed on the wing in the Queensland Team of the Century in 2003.
