Kiwi & North Sydney Bears Rugby League Legend, Mark Graham, tells his footy story

[@TheMarathonomahos]

Wow. What a player. I am Australian and still rate this guy as one of the top 5 ever players. He was next level.

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@TheMarathonomahos that's so cool mate!

Great to hear some of those stories. As an Aussie kid in the 80’s I used to think Mark Graham was a legend amongst those kiwi players.

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

Wow, thanks so much for watching and commenting. It was amazing to chat with MG. Was a super star!

[@tamataua4370]

One of if not the greatest player I have ever seen in a kiwi jersey and the reason why I changed codes and never looked back

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

Oh wow, who did you play for?

[@tamataua4370]

@@pointofdifferencerugbyleague I was just a teenager but did well playing rugby for ponsonby ponies our coach was the caretaker at Richmond rd primary school then jumped ship after watching this man playing for the kiwis and went down the hill to Grey lynn pk play for the Richmond bulldogs, Fred ah koui brought Mark Graham to our prize giving and got to meet him and I was absolutely star struck in 1987, he's is a wonderful humble man

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@tamataua4370 that's just beautiful mate. I'm star struck meeting guys over a Zoom chat, let alone meeting them in person!! So cool!

Massive respect to Mr Graham. Hope to see his son’s film.

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@Badlighter yeah he's pretty amazing aye mate!

[@WynnSyeThomas-dq4oe]

A legend, was fortunate to see him play

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

He was so good! Thanks for watching mate!

[@aucklandrugbyleaguetv]

You've got us hooked. What a great episode!

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

Glad to hear it!!! Had Gary Freeman, Kurt Sorensen, Motu Tony, Darrell Williams, and Shane Cooper on the poddy too. Now there's some great listens from more Auckland Legends!

[@Honmatres]

Love this man, the myth THE LEGEND!

[@timaruoutlaws1905]

Mark is correct, something is definitely happening in regards to a South Island NRL team.

[@mattieherewini1]

Loved this so much

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@mattieherewini1 thanks Champ, glad to hear it!

[@paulkelcher824]

Just watched the first test from 85. Mark wasn't just cleaned up, a cheap forearm from Noel Cleal knocked him out before he hit the ground. But thats how the game was played then, noone was an angel :)

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

That is so true. The gloves were off for young and old back then!

[@timonkaple-wena6002]

A great player who played our Kumuls

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

One of the best!

[@kane3396815]

Wow Mark Graham - Love this guy!

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@kane3396815 he is the greatest player and the greatest human too!

[@markhansen4269]

Great stories. Legend

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@markhansen4269 thank you!

[@timaruoutlaws1905]

Mal Reilly is the English lock Mark is trying to think of. Turned himself into a super coach after his illustrious playing career ended.

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

Correct! I put a photo up of him in the poddy. What a weapon of a player!

[@elray5898]

KIWI LEGEND and earn it for sure

[@timaruoutlaws1905]

Dave, I think you need to get Alan Ruston on your podcast next lol. Great yarns to be heard.

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

🤣🤣🤣 I know, right!!?? That would be epic!

[@stephanlehner1533]

Go you Bears!

[@rico-zaindentiana-mariepou4446]

I was like a 10 year old, snotty nosed kid, i didn't know much of anything then, but i knew 2 names Olsen, & Mark Graham...

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

Lol, they are both Legends. Thanks so much for watching!

[@bolivianbillionaire1349]

Unbelievable what he endured...so tough..such skill .nobody wanted to mix it with him....i remember him giving gavin miller the message after miller was trying to harass Freeman in a test...miller just melted... best league interview i've watched ..

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@bolivianbillionaire1349 thank you! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it mate!

[@jamiebartlett6887]

Any bloke that has a cigga in the tunnel at halftime and be the best forward on the field is a legend😮

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

Pretty cool aye! 😂

[@jamiebartlett6887]

@pointofdifferencerugbyleague bring back durries in the tunnel at halftime 😮

[@NokunokuLavea]

Original MG .... not that dude over in penrith 😂😂

[@pointofdifferencerugbyleague]

@@NokunokuLavea Hahaha yes sir!

[@absoluteb22]

Actually Mark Geyer admired Mark and modelled a lot of his game off him.

[@bolivianbillionaire1349]

@absoluteb22 yeh...Mark Geyer.....What a unit.....loved watching him doing his thing ..brutal .......but his offloading skills were amazing too...getting piss and pickhandles belted out of him and still able to stand and slip that magic pass ....
