Half a century ago, Doug Walters was among the most loved and acclaimed cricketers in Australia. And the legend lives on.
Now 76, Dungog's famous sporting son still spends many of his weekends in Sydney doing what he is passionate about - teaching kids how to play cricket.
In a special Toohey's News podcast this week, we go one-on-one with the man who earned the nickname 'Dashing Doug' for his cavalier batting exploits.
All the funny stories, his famed drinking and smoking exploits - they're all here.
He reveals the greatest cricketer he ever saw and the fastest bowler he faced.
"It's a compelling interview," Host Barry Toohey says, "Have a listen."
