@Rapido said in General discussion, nostalgia, and trivia:
I can remember the occupations of lots of the AB teams from my youth. From their profiles.
Eg I'll try to do the 87 World Cup team:
Gallagher: Policeman
Kirwan: Shamateur
Stanley: owner driver
Taylor: ?
Green: Builder
Fox: marketing? Worked for that CSL or IMG or sum fin like that.
Kirk: med student / doctor
Shelford: navy
M Jones: student
A Whetton: ?
Pierce: Policeman
G Whetton: ?
Drake: ?
Fitzpatrick: builder
McDowell: publican?
I have John Kirwan's Rugby World open in front of me.
They are as follows:
Gallagher - policeman
Crowley - farmer
Kirwan - he doesn't mention what he's doing at that point, but it's probably somewhere in the book
Green - roofing contractor
Wright - auditor
Stanley - runs his own cartage business
Taylor - schoolteacher
McCahill - painter
Fox - ''sports marketing"
Botica - works for a courier firm
Kirk - student
Deans - shepherd
Shelford - ''sports promotion"
A Whetton - cartage contractor
Jones - second degree at uni
Brooke - plumber
Brooke-Cowden - switched to league, so doesn't mention his previous occupation
Earl - farmer
G Whetton - sales manager
Pierce - policeman
Anderson - farmer
McDowell - sales rep
Fitzpatrick - sales rep
Drake - corporate banker
Loe - sales rep
Dalton - farmer
