    I remember Sparksy. He was playing fullback in the memorable win against Manly in 1982 at the old Wollongong Showground. What a day that was

    I taught with Sparksy. A great guy. He challenged me to the 1500m race at the school carnival which was a load of fun. All the girls loved him!!!

    Joined Cronulla around 1986 but didn’t play first grade.
