DESCRIPTION
(from the History of the Saint George Illawarra Dragons)

Joined Saints in 1972 -
A brilliant attacker and rare talent, 'Lord Ted' captured the imagination of crowds whenever he played. From fullback, he scored a miraculous try in the historic 1977 drawn Grand Final (later dubbed the 'game of the century').
While scoring one his trademark solo tries, 'Lord Ted' kicked ahead and dived on the ball just inside the dead ball line. Such was his determination that he hit the ground hard and knocked himself out in the process.
He backed up the next week and scored six goals and a field goal in Saints 22-0 victory over Parramatta.
Went on to captain-coach Parkes and Forbes to three premierships in the Group 11 competition before moving to Perth and helping to set up the ill-fated Western Reds franchise.
