Just to add a few lines to Kevins story.
I met him when i was a small lad, my old fella used to be one of the
local bobbies at all the home matches. Grew up being very good friends
with his son Damon and played under him at a couple of clubs/colleges
(and with John Donno who added an entry above!).
After leaving rugby to taxi drive (god he had so many stories to tell
about the antics of a taxi driver!) i used to work with him at xmas in a
butchers shop in stockton heath, he also dabbled in the import/export
business (god, don't get me started on that! Importing concrete and
exporting chicken feet to the chinese).
The last contact i had was through a mate, who said Kevin was now
residing back in NZ with his familly (Tira and the kids), being heavily
involved in the Maori Rugby Leagues there, and was also coaching the Maori
national side on a tour around Australia.
All in all, he is one of the finest blokes i ever met (although when he
was eating pigs eye balls in the butchers i did nearly wretch!) and am
glad to call him a mate.
