Auction 244 Page:1 Lot Type Grading Description Est $A FOOTBALL - RUGBY LEAGUE Virtually all of the lots in this section are from the collection of Clive Churchill, universally acknowledged as one of the greatest rugby league players of all-time. Hailing from Newcastle where he was a schoolboy prodigy, Churchill joined South Sydney Rabbitohs as a 20yo in 1947 and played there until 1958, winning five premierships. He returned to the club as coach and between 1967 & 1975 took his team to a further four premierships. Clive Churchill was also a key member of the New South Wales 'Blues' and retired as the most-capped Australian international player. A deep thinker about the game, Churchill - dubbed 'The Little Master - played with remarkable flair and essentially re-invented the position of fullback and, in 2008, was named the game's Fullback of the Century. A stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground is named in his honour and, since 1986, the Clive Churchill Medal has been awarded each year to the player judged Best on Ground in the Grand Final. 458 Balance of Clive Churchill's collection including 'A Centenary of Rugby League 1908-2008' presentation copy to 100 Greatest Players; tickets 1948 England v Wales & 1959 Great Britain v Australia; 1950s-90s magazines with 'Sporting Life' (12), 'Sports Novels' (5) & 'Rugby League Week' (8); 'Golden Players from Rugby League's Golden Years'; Col Joye signed photo; Hunter River Hall of Fame booklet; 2003 Sydney's Greatest Ever Sports Stars programme; DVDs (6) & cassettes (2).

    THE ACTION KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Sir Peter Leitch Club Newsletter RLWC 2017 24th October 2017 It’s 4 days until the Kiwis play # their first game of the 2017 RLWC 193 Back The Kiwis By Enjoying Lunch By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan E ARE only days from the kick-off of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, with Australia and England W– in what will be a hell of a match - doing the honours on Friday night. Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.
