  • OBITUARY: Ross Vincent Turnbull St (Enrolled 1 Year NBHS in 1954 – Later Transferred to Knox Grammar Added by Webmaster) by PETER FITZSIMONS March 15, 2015, 5 P.M
    OBITUARY: Ross Vincent Turnbull st (Enrolled 1 Year NBHS in 1954 – later transferred to Knox Grammar added by Webmaster) By PETER FITZSIMONS March 15, 2015, 5 p.m. Ross Turnbull, the front-rower, goes up for the ball in a lineout during his Newcastle playing days. ROSS VINCENT TURNBULL, 1941-2015 WITH the death this month of Ross Turnbull – after a seven-year battle with cancer – Australian rugby has lost one of its most colourful, if oft controversial, characters. His love for the game and its people was not always reciprocated, but his impact and contribution were enormous, and he will be remembered. A big lump of a lad from Newcastle, he learnt his rugby at Knox Grammar School as a rampaging forward in the late 1950s, where he was notable for always having his sleeves rolled up – in the manner of a fellow who always had a job o’ work to do – and one other thing in particular. Somehow he learnt to burrow his way through opposition forwards and, against all odds, emerge on the other side with ball in hand to confront the stunned opposition halfback who never expected anyone could do that – as the home crowd roared. The impression left was of an exceptionally strong boy who was not one to take a backward step, and kept going, no matter what. The pattern for a life was formed. He made his representative debut for Newcastle against the All Blacks in 1962 at age 21, refining his craft as the forward anchor of three premiership teams with Newcastle club Wanderers in 1963, 1964 and 1965.
