Oh, he was pretty good, Gaz.

Anything he...

took on we had a lot of battles out in the backyard out in the paddy kicking the footy around or whether it be playing cricket or over in the tennis court he loved his sport and that's a that's a sad thing his sport was cut cut down amongst other things but probably other more important things but he was a very good yeah good footballer read the game well you know he just he loved it you know and anyone that sort of

start playing the footy he really put his mind into it and like anything that he did and you know he got the better of

I never really spoke too much about it, Tim.

You know, it was hard enough running out behind him.

All the older blokes.

But that was just the way he was, mate.

He was just pretty focused and pretty driven.

Yeah, well, I think that, you know, it's just the way he was brought up and

and how we, I think that getting away to school and standing on your own two feet really paid big dividends for Neil like it did for a lot of other young fellas that went away to boarding school and that there you've got to learn to stand on your own two feet pretty quickly.

I was sitting at home and Mum was making me breakfast and she made sure I was tucked in the bed at night and made sure I was warm and

as long as I was getting out there and having a bit of a go and doing my job, cutting the wood and milking the cows and so forth, you know.

Dad was pretty much the forefront of it all, really.

He knew what type of bloke I was and as far as I could be a bit erratic and loved a pretty good time and that sort of thing.

But he wanted the best for his boys.

I think he missed out on a lot back in his time, but he gave us every opportunity.

So, you know, when it came to Neil...

He was finishing off.

He finished his school at Assumption College.
