As the ditty used to go,
“ Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
If Lillee doesn’t get you, then Thommo
must “.
Good times !

He was a genius organiser during a run chase.
Surrounded by legends, he was always one of the key wickets for oppositions.

As the transfer from B & W was rolled out, test patterns in colour were broadcast for about 5 or 6 months prior to the big Day in March 1975 and we had neighbours join us to watch them. Just sat there watching them for about an hour at a time. I think my Dad sold them homebrew as well. 📺📺📺🍻🍷🍾

Back in the day, I worked at The Courthouse Hotel in Australia St. Newtown. I'd often be on deck to receive Keg Deliveries. One day the Brewery Truck arrived and the Driver was Rocket Reddy! He was getting set up to roll the Kegs down the cellar ramp when he apologised, saying, "Sorry mate, I forgot to pack the ropes. I'll have to free fall them!" So we set up a barricade of empty kegs covered in hessian bags and hope, cos I was to stay in the cellar in order to move the keg into it's new spot after each roll. I cowered down whilst the Rocket lifted each Keg off the truck and rolled them down the ramp. After we finished, we went to the bar, and I offered him a Schooner, as you do. "Nah, mate, just a Lemon Squash, I'm in training for the Test team"
