I first saw Alan play for the Wallabies in Vancouver in 1958 on his way home to Australia. Then I got to meet him when I started to play for St. George R.U. in 1963. I was only a 4th. grader but that didn't matter to Alan. One night after training at Hurstville Oval, we went to Shanny's Hotel and I saw Alan bite a piece out of a schooner glass.
