Your best achievement on court, as most of us wouldn't have won Open Titles or represented the State, maybe list some of your Pennant wins or Club Titles.....

I will start with my on-court achievements at Boomerang. I won 4 consecutive Club Championships - 1969-70-71-72 and was runner up in 1973.

Won the Club Handicap tournament in 1970 and was runner-up in 1971.

Won 3 A1 Pennants at Boomerang plus others as listed above.

I am not too sure but I think I won the South East Queensland (Toowoomba) final beating Barry Kenway and I also lost another Toowoomba final 3-1 to Rainer Ratinac (a NSW and Australian representative).

Won the Brisbane Open beating Dave Wright 3-2 in the final.

Won 3 Far-North Queensland Titles and was a finalist in the North Queensland Open when I was beaten 3-2 by Cam Nancarrow who was the World Champion at the time.

Did you venture into administration or coaching or refereeing or managing teams or played Masters Squash.....

No.

Who do you admire as the person who has either achieved great things on court or shaped the game off court.....

Podgy Fox (Peter Land) when he put Joe at No. 2 on the Women's ladder after Joe was beaten by Helen Hendy.

Funniest moment you remember.....

Outside Boomerang Squash Courts after fixtures finished with 30 blokes having a "Walk-the-Fence" competition while Brother Pete threw their racqets into the big tree.

Anything else you think people might find interesting.....

At a Boomerang Christmas Party, Bob McCormack was dancing in the crowd and tapped me on the shoulder and asked "Excuse me, could you tell me who I am supposed to be dancing with?".
