    I saw Jim in 1964 when he played in the Herbert River Comp in Ingham. I think he played with Lower Herbert club. I have this enduring memory of Big Jim running wide , dummying and fending and even stepping, to score and win a game. As he was captain coach, he usually spent a lot of time organizing play, but he could impact a game if needed

    The Jim I saw carried a bit of " condition " but there was no hiding his class
