A HHHHUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEE loss and one of the greats of bradcasting
The NRL had better induct him into the HOF
Legend. I remember him making the weight lifting exciting at the Commonwealth games. He was certainly the voice of Origin no doubt about that. RIP.
Didn’t he once get punted from the weightlifting for being too loud ?
That's true Brett - it was at the 1990 Comm Games. He was so loud the other commentators got the shits and in the end they moved him into a little room where he called the action from a monitor.
I'm lucky enough to have met Big Daz on a number of occasions and he was a lovely bloke. Very warm hearted. He faught a great fight.
Rest In Peace legend..
IM going to miss him calling the games
RIP
Sensational
RIP Dazza
Pearce off Jack, Gibbs on !!!!
Just thinking about the last 12th Man CD, Richie, Tony, Kerry, Maxy Walker, Hansie, Martin Crowe and now big Dazza, all gone.
