@MN5 not sure they were disliked as players? BK came across a bit odd, maybe his Haka'ing colouring peoples views?
think it was @WillieTheWaiter who told of it how BK was approached in a Walkabout bar in London, when some guy asked him if he knew when the ABs would be coming in later as he had heard they were, and BK said nah bro, why would they come here!

Not as players, more their personalities although people whinged about Marshalls pass even more than they did about Rueben Thorne doing nothing all game.
I'm sure I read on here that Kelleher said the 2007 quarter final felt like 1999 again or some equally moronic comment.

Matched the moronic way the ABs played in the 2007 quarter final then....

Too soon bro.

I’ve met quite a few ABs over the years,
Most seemed like decent humble blokes,
Bk was probably the only one where I thought ,gee he seems like a bit of a dick ,( like a 15 year old schoolboy that thought he was the tough guy super hero) but he was pretty young , prepared to cut him some slack, he may have grown up by now .
-
poor BK. grew up with him (not a friend but around same time) and played at same club later on. Interesting person, single minded who lived to be an AB from a very young age. Did some very silly things which made you think. Use to wear full ABs training gear around town (when not playing with ABs
)Interesting but still a person who acted the same his whole life so will just let that one be. -

Doesn't fancy a game of golf by any chance does he? He an another former AB have the start of a quality foursome.

Given the large number of people who have been All Blacks, there's always going to be some very large tools in that shed.
Kelleher won't come close to the worst. Both Joe Karam and Kit Fawcett would be very high up the list.

That made me laugh out loud! I couldn't agree more

Joe Karam would be at the top of my all black douches list. For him to claim he’s the only former ab to use his profile to help people is an outlandish thing to say. John Kirwin and Colin Mead’s helped thousands of people in their lifetimes ffs

Plenty of stories about Fawcett and his failed property development.
I had him as a PE teacher at school.
Didn’t Grant Batty get himself into similar strife?
Teaching @Bovidae?

I found Karams actual quote and response after Kirwans name was mentioned, the article is worth a read too to get an idea of what a self aggrandising weirdo he is
"If they look at what I'm doing too closely, all it would do is force them to examine their conscience, which they wouldn't really want to have to look at, because who are the All Blacks who have become such great leaders? Where are the All Blacks who have stood up for anything that is actually really that admirable?"
What, I ask, about John Kirwan fronting a campaign for mental health?
"I don't think he's putting his life out to help others. Where do we see examples of All Blacks stepping outside their comfort zone with possibly a little bit of personal risk to do something that actually helps New Zealand society? We all think All Blacks are gods, so they must be great leaders. But start analysing it. It's bloody dreadful that All Blacks don't individually do more." He appears to have forgotten men like Sir Wilson Whineray.

Hi did...... Well, he coached Tauranga Boys' 1st XV in the 80s, assume he was PE teacher as well.

@westcoastie Damn, it's been a while since I've seen him, he looks like an old man in that pic, or a long lost Whitelock!
