NZ Hockey All Blacks 1950

Our Family`s association with Hockey stretches way back, in 1941 Jim was a Canterbury Rep and by 1950 became a NZ Hockey All Black. This was in a time before sport was business and selection was an hounour, for small town Timaru it was big news even the Timaru Mayor was at the train station to farewell him. Along with all things sport, Cycling is his other great passion, completing in biathlons into his 70`s in Auckland. Unfortunately his sons haven`t followed in his example, but at least I started early....Guess which one?
