Vale Tony Mundine

I saw him kick off a game at Lidcombe Oval one day ,at the height of his boxing prowess.
He obviously loved rugby league as well.


He came down and did a trail for Souths and just started boxing to keep fit I think it was in Newtown the gym and he was a naturally talented boxer
 
Vale Tony Mundine.

Back in 1990 I went to a LIVE music venue in Camperdown to see some Bands play.
It was a very popular list of Bands and their was a queue to get in.
Luckily the queue moved at a good pace.
As I got closer to the venue's door I saw the security doorman.
I thought, very loudly in my head "That's TONY MUNDINE!!!"
When I got to the front of the queue I said something like "G'day Tony, how are ya?"
He said "Good thanks mate"
We shook hands and I walked inside.
I was in shock and in awe of what had just happened.
I could tell in those short moments that Tony was very pleased to be recognised.
To me, the doorman was one of the greatest Boxers of all time.
To everyone else he was just the doorman.

My condolences go to Anthony, his family and friends.
