The heart of the Richmond Knights for the 3 years he managed them. Unbelievable commitment to all of the team, organising things off the field and freeing the players up to concentrate on playing.
On the field, he led from the front, stuck himself into the pressure situations and never let them beat him. Walk off home runs, stolen bases, great game calling behind the plate we’re regular features of his game. He inspired all of his team to be better players.
