So I didn't really see a lot of my mum.
I did and I didn't, if that makes sense.
And then my uncle, yeah.
So that's a good question.
I actually can't answer that one.
Yeah, that was my granddad, yeah.
But I was super lucky at school.
I can remember I went to Gladstone Primary and there was a guy, Mr. Martin was his name, and he was Mr. Martin.
I can't remember.
Anyway, but he was a sports guy and he was real cool with me.
He sort of, not father figured me, but like I knew that he was a guy that I could go to.
And then the guy that really, there were two teachers, three teachers.
Actually, there's a lot of teachers.
But I was super lucky like that.
So I went to Wesley Intermediate, which was a super good school.
And the headmaster there was a guy called Mr. Johnson.
And the main teacher there was a guy called Mr. Sirhoi.
And he was right into his sport.
And he just, like, he became like a real father figure to me.
You know, like he was a Yugoslav guy.
