    I can’t find the crowd funding page for the disco ball above the dance floor that will no doubt be built above her grave .

    When Winnie divorced Nelson she said she wanted half of what he had.....

    So he threw her in jail for 13 years.

    No love for Fergie McCormick? 😲

    Not even from the Cantab's?

    Fearless fullback through one of our greatest era. Staunch provincial legend. World record holder at the time (most points in a test - 24 from memory) and by all accounts a top bloke

    I have a signed copy of his book at home somewhere. Found it in a secondhand shop. From memory the main theme was what a tough little bugger he was.

    Was on a flight between SFO and LAX today. Reading the New York Times and the leading obituary was Keith Murdoch.

    Redirect Notice

    Not a bad read and was written by Huw Richards who, presumably, was the Welshman Buck KO’d in 1987. When he woke up he was sent off.

    Without a doubt one of the greatest character roles in the history of movies.

    He came down to NZ to reprise it in PJ’s “Frighteners.”

    What a legend - in an absolutely mad sport. When I hitched around Scandinavia in the early 80's a mention of Mauger almost guaranteed a free feed.

    We really were a force in Speedway in those days. Remember seeing him race at the Springs. Knew he'd been ill didn't realise how bad he was.

    I'd like to think that he was up in heaven, questioning god's sexuality.

    Pretty convincing as a drill sergeant, probably because that is what he was!

    Also excellent in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre flicks. RIP indeed.
