The word “enigma” is described in the Collins Dictionary as “mystery, conundrum, problem, puzzle, riddle, teaser”. David Knox was probably all of those. An athlete of unquestionable ability, he could have been a star in any sport he chose. Rugby was his passion however, and he was certainly a star in that code playing 13 times for Australia between 1985 and 1997 and being a member of the 1991 World Cup squad. He also played in eight 1st Grade Randwick Rugby premierships while scoring a record 2,842 points–the highest point scorer in Australian club rugby. In 1994 he kicked 12 goals against Drummoyne. He also scored 130 points for the Australian Wallabies.
