The godfather of Queensland rugby league passed away on the gold coast yesterday...he was 66.
Not just a fantastic role model for footballers but he also for his own people. He worked so hard to make things better for aboriginal youth, to give them the confidence and the options to lead a happy and productive life.
This has now become the" Learn Earn Legend" program that has given hope to so many that otherwise may not have had much hope at all.
RIP big fella we will miss you.

Artie lived at my local pub Como for a while he was always good for a chat, opposite the pub is the local como rugby league club and oval it wasn't unusual for Artie to spot a couple of kids on the oval kicking a ball around and wander over for a chat and give a bit of advice, as you could imagine the kids were in awe of Artie.
The only problem with artie living at the pub was hot pies became an endangered species.
