Outside Peter Wynn’s famous sporting goods store on Church Street in Parramatta this week, Raj Singh – wearing an Eels hoodie and waiting for the rain to pass – recalled being caught up in a crowd of fans when he first arrived in Australia from Fiji in 1986.
“I didn’t know much about rugby league then, but there were people all over the city, I had just arrived here as a student so it was crazy,” Singh says.
