A little trivia on this..

Convoy was voiced by Bill Fries and was co-written by Bill Fries and Chip Davis, the credited artist C. W. McCall was a fictional character thought up by the co-writers.

Happy Birthday to Australia’s first-ever rugby league club, the mighty Glebe Dirty Reds!

Born on January 9, 1908, the men from Glebe converted en masse, giving confidence to the players from the clubs that followed that, while they’d all likely be banned from union for life, there was at least one other club to play against in the new league.
Tomorrow is our annual opportunity to recognise the risk these pioneers (not just from Glebe but all nine foundation clubs and the English clubs before them) took in switching codes, and the wonderful legacy they’ve left for all of us who live, breathe and sleep the game of rugby league.
Happy Birthday Reds!
