Fastest player on the football field I have seen.
Don’t know about a 100 metre sprint but he hit full speed quicker than anybody.
Scored try’s others would not have.

If not affected by severe illness he could have been anything. I had the privilege of playing against him in the juniors, made me look so pedestrian I almost gave the game away. Think he scored 4 or 5 tries that day. Ah memories.
