Always a courageous player, gave his best, he was an absolutely demanding coach, those coached by him would say that.<\/p> \u201cAll my associations he was just a solid family man just like anyone. This scourge, this narcotic can destroy lives, families, country towns, and clubs. And if it\u2019s hitting that quality of person, fair dinkum, it\u2019s just a bloody sad story.
