Four Gordon First Grade cricketers who were playing at the time the song was written were included in the second verse and repeated throughout that first season as the ‘star’ players of the day. Over the years those names changed on a match by match basis based on the performance of the players in those teams.
Four Gordon First Grade cricketers who were playing at the time the song was written were included in the second verse and repeated throughout that first season as the ‘star’ players of the day. Over the years those names changed on a match by match basis based on the performance of the players in those teams.
The verse written for the first season included the line: “There’s Roley and Hedley, Brother L and PJ”. Those nicknames in fact were for Dick Guy (Roley), Brian Taber (Hedley), Lloyd Wilson (Brother L) and Peter Johnson (PJ).
Sadly, the Club has received the news this week that Peter Johnson passed away on 27th March 2025 in Brisbane where he has lived for many years.
