It was incredible really. In 1977, I flew over to England with the players and that was the flight on which Rodney Marsh broke the world beer drinking record. Three-quarters of the players on that flight had signed these sensational Packer contracts and they were all as drunk as you could imagine. But the secret still didn't get out. I sat beside Hookesy on the flight over and I had been best man at his wedding and not even he breathed a word of it to me... I found out I went up and talked to Hookesy he said: "Sorry mate, I didn't know whether you had signed or not." Hookesy said he had wanted to tell me, but he just couldn't.
