Gary Larson

Mobile Gladstone lock won praise with his tireless displays for Norths and in Queensland's State of Origin sides in the early 1990s. Gary Larson was one of Norths' most consistent performers during the club's run to the preliminary final in 1991 and was considered unlucky not to have played for Australia in the early 1990s. In 1994 he blemished his fine record when he was sent from the field in the final against Canberra for a dangerous tackle on David Furner. Norths went on to lose the match and Larson lost his chance to press for selection on the Kangaroo Tour. In 1995 he finally made his Test against NZ before going on to play in 9 Tests at the height of the Super League war. Initially declaring his unavailability for World Cup duty because of family commitments Larson was rushed into the side following a broken cheekbone suffered by Paul Harragon and played in both the semi-final, against NZ, and the final against England. Curiously, Larson missed Test selection in ARL’s stand-alone season in 1997 despite being a mainstay of Queensland’s State of Origin pack. He announced his retirement from rep duty in early 1999 but following the Bears’ merger with Manly he saw out the final year of his career with the Eels.
