Biography
Randwick RU centre played in 8 Tests with the Wallabies before following club and Test partner John Brass to the professional code in 1970. Smith signed a four-year contract with Souths but the fair-headed centre had returned from the South African tour requiring a cartilage operation and struggled during the ensuing seasons. A succession of knee injuries forced him into retirement at age 27 in 1973.

Your Say
Rob says: I remember Phil doing the most amazing kicks to find 'touch' that I have ever seen. He would 'unexpectedly' kick for the further side of the field, catching the opposition unaware and gain an incredible amount of field position. (29/06/2012)
Sydney Eckstein says: Phil Smith was a Clovelly JRLFC junior playing during the late 50s and early 60s before his switch to Randwick. He is in the Clovelly Crocodiles Hall of Fame. (25/05/2017)
