Charlie, yeah!

So chairs had to do the jug.

Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

And, yeah, I got away with it.

So, you know, respect for the manager.

Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

Very good.

Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

Yeah, I dodged one that day, honestly.

Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

I think I've always believed in the human spirit and that there's good in everyone.

Not only do I think about my dad right now, but I'm thinking of people like Zach Guilford and the trials that that kid went through and how no matter what, a couple of times I publicly backed him in front of New Zealand's media with him sitting beside me.

who I was, and I think that came from Dad.

Between Two Beers Podcast
Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

Most humble man I've probably ever met.

Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

I remember Dad was a teacher all his life, and he stopped teaching, did some work in education for a while, and then he landed a job at a winery in Hawke's Bay as a gardener.

Greenfinger loved it.

And he's got his golf cart, and he's driving around the winery and doing his work, and he came home one Christmas with a box of wine.

Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

I said, oh, why did you get that, Dad?

Between Two Beers Podcast
Darren Shand: 20 Years Inside the All Blacks' Golden Era

He goes, oh, it was just, you know, they loved me there and they gave me that.
