@Donsteppa Dead set Harbour legend and innovative coach.
Liked this from the Herald's obit
It was a listing in the Herald that convinced Thorburn that rugby players north of the harbour bridge needed their own union. In 1977 the Herald published the names of trialists for the Auckland U17 rugby team. "There were 117 names and only three from the other side of the bridge,'' he told the newspaper in 2013.

Did his best work as Super 12 commissioner making sure the best players outside the protected lists were drafted.
Loved some of his innovative tactics. Wasn't it The Great Wall of China tap move, and I seem to recall a 15 man lineout maul.
Was a long time correspondent to Radio Sport (with Telfer IIRC). I fondly remember his labelling of talk back callers The Flat Earth Society.

Yeah, fuck... 44 years old, 3 weeks battle. That's a bit scary.
But, in a way, it sounds like a decent way to go. "Did not suffer" - so, enough time to quit the job, have a final road-trip, saying goodbye to everybody, and tick a few things off a true "bucket list".

Wow, I only really watched that show for the girls in it but he was occasionally quite funny in his own right. RIP Screech.
RIP 2021
