The Thornett brothers

Posted by Adrian Bowles on June 17, 2025 at 1:30pm

Hi Eels fans,

I would really like to get hold of some film or video footage of either of the Thornett brothers, Ken and Dick.
playing for the Eels, N.S.W or Australia.
Do any of you have such footage or know where I could find such footage.

Thanks

A new book just came out on Dick's life, don't know if the publishers could push you in the right direction. (https://www.fairplaypublishing.com.au/products/the-natural-richard-...)

Dick's ex-wife, Maureen, and their daughter, Sophie, run the Royal Oak Hotel in Balmain. Might be worth giving them a call.
