WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Michael O'Brien All rugby followers are aware of the famous photograph taken at Twickenham during the England/France test of 1974. Mike was the first person to streak at a sporting event and he started a phenomenon that has encircled the western world. Newer club members may not be aware that Michael is a member of the Melbourne Rugby Club and has been for many years. Michael was a hooker, who played 207 games from 1978 He is a stockbroker with Patersons Securities A new photograph has been unearthed that shows our Michael running on the field, before he was apprehended by the gendarmerie.   If you look closely you will see that it was very cold that day.

Gerry Hueston Gerry was appointed President of BP Australasia in September 1993, which is a pretty good achievement for a member of the front row club Gerry played 100 games made up of 34 First Grade, 17 Second Grade, 18 Third Grade, 6 Fourth grade, 25 Social Grade and scored 26 tries The idiot, behind Gerry, trying to get into the photo is not one of the Club's high flyers.

Angus Sampson Angus has appeared in radio, theatre, films, and more recently in "Thank God Your Here" on Channel 10 He was a handy forward who played five First Grade, nineteen Second Grade and one infamous Third Grade between 1998 and 2002 In his last and only Third Grade match, he punched a Harlequin and was sent off. Normally, this would have been considered appropriate behavior. Unfortunately, Harlequins were short and he punched one of us, who was standing in for the opposition. We have not seen him since! He was only a Pom, Angus; come back, all is forgiven!

Dave Fitter Dave was one of our colts in 1997 He left Melbourne to travel north in order to further his rugby career as a prop He played senior club rugby for Sydney University and played super rugby for the Brumbies and the Force Dave won two wallaby caps against England and Wales in 2005

Tamaiti Horua Tamatai was born in Nelson in the southern part of the Eastern Islands. However, he learnt his rugby in Melbourne under the watchful eye of his father Kingi Tamaiti joined the Western Force from Japan, where he spent two seasons with the Toyota club. Prior to that, the flanker was a regular at the Brumbies, having made his Super rugby debut against the Blues in 2002. He played for the Australian U21s in 2001 and captained the team the following year, later representing Australia A in 2003 and 2005.
