This podcast highlights my great passion for sport as a spectator and a participant and my favorite sporting memories over 5 decades. I have experienced live sport here in Australia and overseas. I have played sport and coached at a representative level. I have a great interest in Cricket, Rugby League and Football and have played cricket at a representative level in Australia and England. I also speak to some guests about their memories and their sporting career. I also talk about historical and cultural events from each year.
