Allan Ayres (second from left in the back row) could have been anything in rugby league. He is pictured here with the 1971 Tweed/Gold Coast premiership winning South Murwillumbah side. The captain-coach was Claude McDermott (third from right in the front row).

1. Delighted to stumble across this Steve. I think of Ayresey quite often. He was our U16 coach at Souths in 1973.
   I share your thoughts about his abilities. Loved playing touch with him prior to training trying to learn from him about ise of the ball to find a defensive hole.
