1992 was the finest year of my father’s life. In January, my mother miraculously gave birth to me. Dad wore a Brisbane Broncos beret to the Kingaroy hospital. Then, in late September, the Broncos beat the St George Dragons 28-8 to secure their first premiership.
“Go! You! Good! Thing!” Dad roared at the TV as Allan Langer – “Alfie”, the star halfback and Broncos captain – scored a try under the black dot, en route to winning the Clive Churchill Medal.
