CANTERBURY BANKSTOWN

 

I was at Belmore Oval the day Henry Tatana finally scrored a try.

Berries fans would remenber 'big Henry' fondly- the rugged Kiwi goal kicking prop, a kicker in the traditional Australian fashion- torpedo position on a handful of sand, toe pocked with a straight run up. Before John Gray brought 'around the corner'to Australia.

A hard working toiler, for me a small boy, Henry was one of my first heroes. He was no show pony, a man's man. I'll always rememeber, sitting with my family in our traditional position in line with the tryline at the Stuart st end of the field, Henry with three men on his back reaching out and planting the ball over the line one handed- in the days when balls were made of pigskin and shined. Big Henry had finally scored.
