Meeting Harold Larwood and Keith Miller - what an honour

This photo was taken in Rockhampton at the conclusion of the Central Queensland Schoolboys trial in 1980 when I was 12

I was captain of the Mackay Schoolboys team playing against Rockhampton, Gladstone, Biloela and Emerald.

From the trials I have the good fortune of being named captain of the Central Queensland Schoolboys to play in Brisbane at the Queensland Schoolboys Carnival in Brisbane.

For most of the boys it was our first trip to Brisbane. We didn’t have a McDonalds in Mackay in 1980 and from memory we had a Big Mac just about every day in Brisbane.

When selected as captain it was a very proud moment to be given the opportunity to have a photo taken with two legends and gentleman of cricket, and they were true gentleman.
