And Jock Hobbs, bless him, who was all black captain, he gave me a Mizuno sponsorship at school.
So I got boots, which were the best boots in the world.
They were amateur days, but it gave me a bit of a head start when I went to university.
I could shout the odd jug, you know.
Well, Jock was obviously a great spotter of talent.
He ended up coaching the New Zealand University team and shit, the fun we used to have on some of those trips was extraordinary.
And I mean, Jock was a wonderful guy.
I really, really enjoyed his company and his intelligence and he had a glint in his eye, a cheeky glint in his eye.
Not only was he the smartest in the room, but he was also probably the biggest shitster in the room.
In a lighthearted, you know, comical, positive way.
I mean, so, yeah, very lucky to have known Jock as I did.
