FOOTBALL by Michael Burgess, NZ Herald BY any measure, Grant Turner has had a tough 12 months. The former All White, one of the key figures in the fabled team that reached the 1982 FIFA World Cup, has been “battered around” with a series of challenges that might have floored others. This year should have been a time for reflection — four decades since those memorable qualifying matches in Auckland, Sydney, Jakarta, Beijing, Kuwait and Riyadh that stopped a nation — but Turner has had no time for looking back. He has had to deal with a frightening cancer diagnosis, then endure a painful “reverse” shoulder reconstruction, after his right shoulder, which had already been replaced 16 years ago, simply wore out. Turner describes the pain after that operation as “probably the worst I’ve ever had”, which is notable, given he’s had two knee replacements and multiple dislocations of his left shoulder, which has also been reconstructed. But the 62-year-old’s message is one of hope, perspective and optimism. “It’s been a challenge but I’m staying positive,” Turner tells the Weekend Herald. “I look at some of the other stuff going on in the world; it’s worse than anything I’ve experienced, so I brush it off. What I’ve experienced has taught me a lot. I cherish every day, enjoy every day I can. “The one thing people need to know is that your family and health are the most important things in your life.
