Vale Steve Hanson died age 54

[everett]

Just read former North Sydney Hard man Steve Hanson died age 54 of complications of a heart attack.

Played 110 first grade games for North Sydney and Eastern and one State of Origin for NSW which he scored a try.

Was the main stay of the North Sydney pack in the mid 80's to early 90's. Tough prop in a classy North Sydney side that should have won a comp during this period.

I use to work with his brother in law years ago.

54 is way too young.
