I was the veterinarian for a livestock company in the northwest. We had 10,000 cows on 6 ranches in 5 states with a progressive, well-managed cow/calf operation. The year was 1976.

 In front of 20,000 fans, Newcastle’s forwards led the way and soon led 5-3, but the crowd was waiting for the floodgates to open.

So, I been thinkin’ why not capitalize on all this hand labor. What is grass good for? Cow feed, of course. But it is unlikely that livestock producers could rent 2 AUM’s (Animal Units per backyard) or some such. Which means we have to be able to use the grass after it is harvested.

His transformation to legend was complete. When his body returned to Australia all was forgiven, and reports say up to 700,000 people lined Sydney’s streets as his coffin was driven past, and 60,000 turned out for his funeral in Maitland. Darcy is buried in East Maitland Cemetery, and this year an $80,000 restoration of his tomb was unveiled. 

Their task was not a quick one: Bob Coverton, an engineer with experience working on high-speed tape duplicators in the ’70s, likened it to working with "mismatched Lego kits."

Probably Australia’s greatest-ever goal-scoring footballer, Reg Date only captained Australia once, against South Africa on May 31, 1947, at Sydney Showground.
