The sending off of Colin Meads in 1967 had a profound affect on NZ . Most New Zealanders alive at that time can tell you there they were when it happened or where they when they heard the news .
Rattled.
He was an A list sporting celebrity the world over none more so than when he toured the British Isles in 1963/64 and 1967.
New Zealand’s September 11th moment, or was that the time two planes flew over Eden Park and dropped flourbombs on the pitch and hit a player?
I was more thinking JFK .
Never heard of him
Can’t imagine many were sent off back then. What did he do to warrant a red card?
Kicked a scottish fella. Wasnt much really considering what used to go on unseen
All blacks didnt have another red card until this year.
Not a celebrity.
Jog on.
The man who was voted the best player of the 20th century on possibly world sports most famous and successful team is most assuredly an A list celebrity. Jog on.
It’s very sad that the Muldoons and northsiders on here can’t keep their vile opinions to themselves.
Show a bit of respect guys.
You could ask a thousand people and two may have heard of him.
Just bring it to the appropriate thread and stop spamming please. RIP to the chap, but he’s a nobody on world terms.
Why don’t you fuck off and die yourself you cunt.
He was a colossus of world rugby and world sport at large.
Exactly, he’s known by a small minority of people across the globe for playing a minority sport.
Not a celebrity.
Clear off out of this thread you tramp.
