People tell him he must have drunk a bottle of scotch and smoked a packet of cigarettes every day to have the voice that he has. That's not the case - at least, not anymore . The son of a railway worker, Ray placed his first bet on a horse called Playboy at the age of just six, and won. A lifelong love of the track - and the punt - was born. During his remarkable broadcasting career, which has now spanned almost five decades, Ray has called three Melbourne Cups, Commonwealth and Olympic Games swimming, and countless rugby league matches alongside his mates Fatty, Sterlo and Gus. Here, for the first time, Ray reveals the man behind the microphone. He speaks of the great highs and devastating lows of his career and life in the same way he calls every sporting event: with great passion, colour and candour. Ray Warren is one of the most experienced sports broadcasters in Australia. The son of a railway worker, he began calling racing and rugby league in country NSW in 1966, and worked for several radio stations and Channel Ten before joining the Nine Network in 1989.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 3rd October 2018 Newsletter #238 Congratulations to Roger Tuivasa-Sheck for Winning the Dally M Medal By John Coffey Greatest Night In Warriors Tuivasa-Sheck,R Dally M and Father Johnny History? Photo www.photosport.nz ID LAST week’s NRL awards night in Sydney finally prove Australian-based players can prosper by Djoining the Warriors -- that a transfer to Auckland is not a kiss of death to one’s aspirations? The Warri- ors carried off four major prizes, the most of any club, highlighted by captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck receiving the supreme Dally M Medal. His recognition should eliminate all prejudices about crossing the Tasman. RTS’s success was warmly and widely greeted in the Sydney media. The Daily Telegraph virtually said the Warriors were no longer an outpost “where careers go to die”. It recalled dire warnings that RTS would sink into oblivion after leaving the Sydney Roosters in 2016, especially when his first Warriors season was ruined by a serious knee injury. Instead, he rose from that setback to be acclaimed the NRL’s best player. Although RTS was a warm favourite on trans-Tasman betting charts his victory was not confirmed until the last votes were announced by Kangaroos coach and thirteenth Immortal Mal Meninga. The highly prized medal was placed around his neck by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, a diehard Cronulla fan, and the Fullback of the Year trophy was presented to him by quadruple Dally M medallist Johnathan Thurston.

  • Wisdom Wit Whimsy
    Wisdom Wit Whimsy more than one thousand quotations An eclectic collection of notable things that people have said – some wise, some witty, and some just simply weird and wonderful. Introduction How often have you thought “I wish I’d said that”, over something that you’d heard or read? There was beauty in the words, or innate wisdom, or simply a witty observation on life. And how often have you had a chuckle over words that simply didn’t come out the way they were intended? Well, I’ve been collecting words like that for about forty years now. I have sorted them, “as you do”, under the headings of Wisdom, Wit and Whimsy. There is often, however, wit to be found in the wisdom, wisdom in the wit and all manner of things, including unintended profundity, in the whimsy. I offer this collection now to you, dear reader, for your “delectation and amusement”. You will find the ‘classic’ quote-makers here, such as Mark Twain and Groucho Marx. But I hope you will also share my joy at the quotes that I have found in the most unlikely places, such as in foreign language movies. My collection is, you will find, devoid of quotes that are merely clever. There is nothing from a Gump chocolate box here. The quotes I have brought together needed substance to ‘make the cut’. It seems that the source of the best quotes is often politics, sport, TV, movies and the press. I think that says something about the general influences in our life.
