Jeff Wittenberg

From his Test debut in 1966 to the 1970 Ashes series, Wittenberg never missed a Test for which he was available. Was with Theodore in Central Queensland when picked for the second Ashes Test in 1966. Sought a transfer to St George in 1967 but was blocked by the QRL and sat out the year, missing the 1967–68 Kangaroo tour. Made his first-grade debut for Saints four days after his 30th birthday. He played 18 games for his club and in all of Australia’s matches at that year’s World Cup. In 1969, he broke his cheekbone on Australia’s tour of New Zealand, but when was rushed straight back into St George’s first-grade team and immediately, to quote journalist Tom Goodman, ‘tackled with a certain degree of ferocity’. In 1970, he played in the first two Ashes Tests but missed the series decider because of a knee injury. He appeared in finals matches for St George in all three of his seasons at the club

Played a total of 1 game for St George
