    Is this the same person that taught at Berala public school in the 1960s?

    Denis was at a one teacher school near Gilgandra in 1961. He was playing football against all the boys (for real) when the inspector turned up. His report could not have been good, and Denis was evidently a professional footballer the next year.

    WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST YEARS OF MY SCHOOL LIFE. A VERY GOOD TEACHER AND A NICE GUY

    My teacher at Berala 1962. After the weekend he would turn up at school with visible bruises, cuts and I remember the stitched up cut over an eye. As his students, especially the boys, we followed his matches and wanted to know how each injury was earned. A great teacher, find memories of the time.

    Does he have a son Brent?

    It is so interesting to see how an accomplished rugby league player is better remembered for his good teaching more so than his good football. I had a maths teacher who played on the wing for Canterbury Banks. and I note that comments for him are in the same vein.
    Denis was at a level equivalent to modern day State of Origin.
