St George’s 23–4 defeat of Balmain in 1966 was his the ninth winning Grand Final (missed 1960 because of injury). Joined Saints from Kurri Kurri in 1957, and quickly established himself in first grade even though the club was extremely well off for wingers, with Tommy Ryan, Kevin O’Brien and Ross Kite. Built an extraordinary tryscoring record in finals matches from 1957 to 1961, amassing 15 tries in 10 games, including hat-tricks in the 1959 and 1961 Grand Finals. He scored at least one try in nine of those 10 games. Was the premiership’s leading tryscorer in 1958 (18 tries in 19 games) and 1962 (21 tries in 17 games). In 1963, he scored his 100th first-grade try for the club a week before he played his 100th game. Twice scored three tries in a game in 1966, his final season, bringing his career hat-trick tally to 11

Played a total of 158 games for St George
