    Don Rodgers was my cousin and his nick name was Buck Rodgers. I would go with my parents to watch him play at Lidcombe Oval at the age of 13 years old.

    I remember him Lisa. I was a Lidcombe boy and started following the Magpies as a kid about 1970. Don was my favourite player then.

    I had the pleasure of playing with Don in 1981. He was our 5/8th. We won the comp Western Districts business houses first grade experience was invaluable. We also had John Bifida in that side. Don was a great bloke to be around. We were all sad to hear he had passed away at only 50. Don is on the Enfield Daily RLFC.

    Don was the centre of a conversation I had with old concord united players. Don was remembered as the toughest shy bloke you would ever want to meet. He and I chatted frequently at the butchers shop in Granville and at the fire station in Burwood. Don and I would get on the grog after training Tuesday and Thursday night after training at rubies he loved his motorbike
    Don displayed a talent very rarely seem as a junior with concord united. Sport is not the only criteria when we remember our mates he was one of natures gentleman we his old mates at concord united we remember him as a good bloke.
