Thats him what a grate play he was over to you

Clive Bernard Churchill AM (21 January 1927 9 August 1985) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer and coach in the mid-20th century. An Australian international and New South Wales and Queensland interstate representative fullback, he played the majority of his club football with and later coached the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He won five premierships with the club as a player and three more as coach. Retiring as the most capped Australian Kangaroos player ever, Churchill is thus considered one of the game's greatest ever players[2] and the prestigious Clive Churchill Medal for man-of-the-match in the NRL grand final bears his name. Churchill's attacking flair as a player is credited with having changed the role of the fullback.[3]

You thinks right BG Lonnie Lee one of my favourites. Over to you for a pic.

Lonnie Lee is the stage name of David Lawrence Rix (born 18 September 1940), an Australian singer, who has fronted Lonnie Lee and the Leeman and Lonnie Lee and the Leedons. He is a pioneer of Australian rockabilly music and has worked in the industry for 60 years. At the peak of his career, Lee had eight top 100 singles, which included three top 20s, "Ain't It So" (November 1959), "Starlight Star Bright" (January 1960) and "I Found a New Love" (September). He achieved five gold records. His last single, "Sad Over Someone", was in 1969, and he continued to tour and perform into the 2000s.

Biography

Lonnie Lee was born as David Laurence Rix,[1] in 1940 and grew up on a sheep farm in Rowena, New South Wales.[2][3] At the age of seven he started singing in the local church choir, he took up the guitar and did Johnnie Ray impersonations as a teen.[3][4] He also impersonated Nat King Cole.[4] After leaving secondary school he started work as a bank clerk in Greenacre.[3][4]

In 1956 he competed in a radio talent quest, 2UW's Alan Toohey's Amateur Hour, where he came second.[3] In February of the following year, as Laurie Lee, he won a contest for "Australia's own Elvis Presley" and was soon managed by fellow rock 'n' roller, Johnny O'Keefe.[2][3][4] O'Keefe recommended a name change to Lonnie Lee in tribute to Lonnie Donegan and got his artist signed to Leedon Records, owned by Lee Gordon.[2][3] The label issued his first single, "Ain't It So", which was written by O'Keefe and became a top 10 hit in Sydney in November 1959.[2][5]

Lee started Sydney's first rockabilly trio. In July 1959 he made his first TV appearances on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's rock and roll show, Six O'Clock Rock,[3] as well as Nine Network's Bandstand.[6] His backing band, the Leeman, initially had Peter Bazley on rhythm guitar, Tony Gaha on drums, Johnny Ryan on bass guitar, Dave Scott on saxophone and Derby Wilson on lead guitar.[2] He later recalled, "It wasn't until 1959 that I did TV. Things really changed. Within a month, I was recording. Within about six weeks I was performing at the stadium with... to 10,000 people and it just went on and on and on. And all of us knew that."[6]

His singles in 1960 were, "Starlight Star Bright" (January), which reached No. 3 in Sydney, "Yes Indeed I Do" (May), "I Found a New Love" (September).[2] The latter reached No. 2 in Sydney.[2] He then followed with "Sit Around and Talk to Me" (March 1961), "When the Bells Stop Ringing" (January 1962), "Don't You Know Pretty Baby" (March) and an extended play, Sitting by the River.[2] His last single was in 1969 with his own track, "Sad Over Someone". By the mid-1960s his backing band were Jeff Denton on bass guitar and piano, Graham Dunn on rhythm guitar, Frank Griffith on drums and Lance Ransome on lead guitar.[2] Lee was the first Australian to have a full colour album cover and to record a stereo album[citation needed].
