    I new Merv from younger days in Tamworth, believe we both went to the Tamworth Police Boys Club. I can remember making a rep side in Tamworth with Merv and we played a Sydney team, eastern suburbs team and they thrashed us 48 / 0. Merv won the best player on our side that day. I have a photo with Merv in that team.
