    Known to all as "Buddy" Cain. He was a very classy mover in an average team.

    Average team? Shoosh! Wests won the minor premiership in 1978 & were very competitive in 79 making the semi finals. Good finisher in a good team!

    Played two seasons on the wing for the great Western Suburbs teams of 1978/79. Failed to take advantage of some great ball players by staying on his wing, as a result rarely scored tries in relation to games played.

    His widow Denise Cain is now in a sexual relationship with their son who was adopted out in the late 1960’s … known as GILES GOODWORTH they reside in Denise known as Gypsy Cain’s housing commission townhouse in Matraville.
    This woman is an absolute nut she has ruined her eldest son's life.
    She and Buddy went on to have another 2 children son Seamus and daughter Megan who both reside in Aboriginal Housing and never employed.
    What a sad sad example of parent she is Buddy will be crawling in his grave.
    Denise Gypsy Cain is the Aunty of South Sydney NRL player Craig Coleman.
