A nice touch at the end of the service as 40-50 former ABs did a guard of honour as the casket was put in the hearse. I could see some former teammates like Chris Laidlaw, Earle Kirton, Grahame Thorne and Stan Meads, and many of the 1987 team (Kirk, JK, Fox, Jones). The GOAT was there too.

The Whetton’s were in there too.
Funny what BJ’s son said about Henry.

Botica as well. Heaps of others like DC but I was relying on what the camera showed from a distance.

Yes. I laughed when he said it. I'm sure Ted did too.

David shared a hilarious anecdote recalling the inauspicious start to his father's friendship with the now Sir Graham Henry.
"David, BJ here. I’ve had a ring from Graham Henry and he wants to come and see me, what do you think?
"He’s a school teacher from Auckland, he’ll be a piston wristed gibbon."From 10:00 on the video.

Mark Reason isn't a favourite of TSF but this was an enjoyable read.
