Michael Bevan?
Champion @LeichhardtTiger - Bevan is sure a big miss on this list. And I bet there's more.
I'm a tad older and can remember Paul Sheahan - he was a fantastic cover fieldsman. And not to forget Bob Simpson, probably the best slipper ever.

Now where are all those lady presenters ?
Times have certainly changed !
27 June 1960
Australian rock and roll singer Johnny O’Keefe "J.O.K" and his two passengers were involved in a serious car accident when his bright red Plymouth Belvedere had a collision on the Pacific Highway few kilometres south of Fredericton which is just north of Kempsey, NSW.
He received sixty-four stitches in his head and another twenty-six in his hands

After only seven weeks he again compered 'Six O'Clock Rock'.
In 1961 he hosted the 'Johnny O'Keefe Show' on ATN-7.
In August 1962 he suffered a further breakdown and spent two months in a psychiatric ward at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney.
He returned to his television show - renamed 'Sing, Sing, Sing' during his absence - in February 1963, but it ceased production in 1965.
In November 1964 he was back in hospital, his 'holiday camp' as he jokingly called it. In 1988 his name was included in the Australian Record Industry Association's hall of fame.
